Macatho, Chacha White, Cerro Negro - 2019

Item # 46060 750mL

Old vine Chasselas (60%) and Chardonnay spend several weeks on the skins, imparting texture and flavor to this medium-bodied dry white. This comes from the Cerro Negro vineyard which is located 70 meters above sea level and 60 km from the Pacific Ocean. Aromas of citrus, stone fruits, and herbs meld with tannic structure to create a highly quaffable, quirky yet food-friendly orange wine. Pair with mushroom risotto. The Macatho winery was started in 2016 by Macarena del Río and Thomas Parayre.

Cabernet Sauvignons from Chile are just as crowd-pleasing as the Carmenères, and keep an eye out for velvety,...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...

Chasselas

A white grape grown all over the world, including Alsace, the Loire, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Italy. The best Chasselas wines, however, are produced in Switzerland, where the grape is called Fendant and is the most widely planted variety in the country. When made well, Chasselas is soft, welcoming and easy to drink.
