It is no mistake that there are Burgundian aspects to this wine—the winemaker is the third generation of a French family in Chile. This Chardonnay is full of surprises with magnificent components that, impressive as they are, register as more than the sum of their beautiful parts. On the nose, remarkably reductive, gunflint leaning almost into gassy sulfur realm but enticingly so. On the palate, all those notes jump up to say look at me! Then suddenly give way to caramelized caramel corn, brown velvet sugar, and browned butter cut through with sudden rippling minerality, ceding to an almost oily texture cut with friendly acidity. The finish goes on and on, lingering on the browned butter and caramel. It’s SO enticing; give it time in the glass to evolve. A gift that keeps on giving. — 15 days ago

This is the house wine at Mini India Restaurant Porto de La Duquesa for 11.9€. Not too bad at this price point. Would buy again. The selection I was offered on the app isn’t an exact match to the bottle, but seems to be close. My bottle just says “Vin A ORCE Tempranillo Roble”. — 2 years ago

A very young wine at a very reasonable wine list price. Not a lot of depth but surprisingly palatable. Our bottle had some Grenache. 13€ on the wine list. At Restaurante Aqurina at Porto de La Duquesa, Spain — 2 years ago

My bottle isn’t a match but it is a Merlot Venezia Giulia…oh well…house wine at Parapiro’s Ristorante at Port Duquesa, Costa del Sol, Spain. Second visit, same wine both times. Didn’t have internet last time so I couldn’t log it in. — 2 years ago

At one of our favorite Port Duquesa restaurants (Victor Grill) tonight doing beef stroganoff and filet steak with chimichuri sauce. Stroganoff meat was a bit chewy. Filet was great. Wine was 24.5€, restaurant price. Would order again. Haven’t seen this one before. — 9 months ago

Not a match but close… my bottle is a Tempranillo & Garnacha. At Cubanga Restaurant at Port Duquesa in Costa del Sol. A bit disappointed in the food but liked the wine at 17€ from the wine list. — 2 years ago
