About Veramonte Chardonnay

In recent years, a plethora of documentaries have been produced to shed light on a "new approach" to agriculture. In essence, this involves a reclamation of time-honored methods that eschew chemical products and honor the natural environment. One such film, "Kiss the Ground," narrated by actor Woody Harrelson, introduces us to the eponymous organization championing regenerative agriculture. This initiative, established to channel efforts towards healthy soils and foster a symbiotic relationship with the Earth, has garnered a substantial following, with numerous wineries aligning with the project. A winery that resonates with this ethos is Veramonte. Its founder, Agustín Huneeus, a trailblazer in the Chilean wine industry, is renowned for his seminal investment in Casablanca, a valley that was once off the viticultural map of Chile but is now a benchmark in the industry.

Among the wines crafted by Huneeus under the Veramonte label is a varietal Chardonnay. This wine originates from loamy-clay soils with rocky substrates at the foot of the Coastal Range, less than 30 kilometers east of the Pacific Ocean. Surrounded by 2,500 hectares of native forests, the vines are cultivated using regenerative and environmentally conscious agricultural practices. The grapes are harvested in the early morning and immediately upon arrival at the winery, are whole-cluster pressed. The juice is allowed to settle for 24 hours before being racked to ferment with indigenous yeasts, partially in neutral oak barrels and the remainder in stainless steel tanks. Ultimately, 30% of the wine undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation.

Having the opportunity to pair the insightful documentary "Kiss the Ground" with a bottle of Veramonte Chardonnay would undoubtedly crystallize the principles of regenerative agriculture for you. You will be immersed in the ultimate expression of living soils.
