Wine of the Week

24 November 2003

2002 Chardonnay, Casillero del Diablo,
Concha y Toro, Casablanca Valley, Chile
£4.99 Waitrose

This is exactly what high-quality commercial Chardonnay should be like: loads of ripe but dry pineapple and melon fruit, a nice streak of lemon acidity, just a touch of oak spice and a beguiling honeysuckle finish. And this is made by the biggest winery in Chile. Quality and quantity can go hand in hand.
