2012 RESERVA WWW.CALINA.COM ©2014 Calina Winery, Santa Rosa, CA VALLE DE CASABLANCA, CHILE CALINA If you wanted to design the perfect wine growing region, it would probably look a lot like Chile. With 2,900 miles that stretch from north to south, Chile offers more diversity than any other place on earth. Its climate is temperate, chilled by the daily breezes from the cold Pacific Ocean to the west and the towering Andes Mountains to the east. Inspired by the Andes Mountains and our great vineyards under their majestic proximity, the script pattern found on our label is a direct representation of the mountain’s shape. Our winery is located in the rolling foothills of the Maule Valley in Chile. In this beautiful, isolated country, Calina makes wines that are deep, structured and staunchly Chilean by blending grapes from select vineyards within appellations that showcase the best of each variety. VINEYARDS The grapes for the 2012 Chardonnay come predominently from the Casablanca Valley. This appellation demonstrates distinct climatic characteristics with warm, dry aſternoons and cool evenings due to daily breezes and the Antarctic “Humboldt Current” that moderates the higher temperatures, along with the random sightings of fog. WINEMAKING Grapes were harvested during March and April. The fruit was hand sorted and bunches were then whole-cluster pressed. TASTING NOTES The 2012 Chardonnay shows aromas of fresh citrus, peaches, melons, tropical fruit and hints of minerality. On the palate, the wine is lush and crisp, with bright fruit followed by hints of butter and light oak on the lingering finish. WINE STATISTICS APPELLATION: Valle de Casablanca COMPOSITION: 100% Chardonnay ALCOHOL: 13.5% AGING: Aged with French and American oak and stainless steel fermented.
