Why this wine
Limari is semi-desert with limestone soils — unusual in Chile — on the edge of the Atacama. Taut and mineral rather than tropical. One of South America's more surprising whites.

Description
How it tastes
Inviting aromas of chamomile, lemon, and pear blend with toasted hazelnut and subtle oak spice, lifted by a saline, mineral finish of exceptional finesse. Expressive and layered, revealing chamomile, lemon zest, and melon over delicate hints of toasted hazelnut, ginger, and flint. Smooth and textured with flavours of pear, citrus cream, and subtle oak spice balanced by a saline, mineral backbone. The lees ageing lends roundness, while fresh acidity preserves vibrancy through a refined, elegant finish. Contains sulphites.
