And in the mouth - it’s broad, citrusy and rich, with a weighty mid-palate and long, complex nutty finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is consistently in the top 3 to 5 Chardonnays in South America over the past decade, and it’s easy to see why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt looks like fine Burgundy, it tastes like fine Burgundy, and because it’s from Chile and not Burgundy, the price is amazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd given that actual Burgundy is going to be thin on the ground for the next while, the smart money’s on stocking up on 6 bottles of Pandolfi Price now to enjoy over Christmas and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WineSpark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58044252881227,"sku":"PPC6P26","price":151.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0645\/5483\/files\/2-Vinedo_Pinot_Noir.webp?v=1785943346","url":"https:\/\/winespark.com\/products\/6x-pandolfi-price-los-patricios-chardonnay-2022","provider":"WineSpark","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
