Full bodied and muscular, it is aromatic and fruity with a hint of dark chocolate and truffle. Superb with red meat, especially steak, game and cheese, it's a real crowd pleaser and is currently showing the perfect mix of power and maturity. Your Christmas claret, maybe?

50 Wines to try before you die! - Forty Ninth wine - Aconcagua Costa Chardonnay, Errazuriz, Aconcagua Valley 2014 75cl
Thursday 29th December 2016
The 2014 vintage provided low yields, as grape ripening was very slow, which enabled the grapes to retain a zesty freshness. Bright silver-yellow colour, with a complex nose of vanilla, honeysuckle and quince. Very mineral on the palate, Chablis-like, though with vanilla and tropical fruit. A fresh and sleek wine, great with pasta, oysters, razor clams and creamy cheeses.
