Intipalka Chardonnay, Vinas Queirolo, Peru, 2018

Yes, Peru. You read that right. This wine is made from vines in the Ica Valley where the Queirolo family have been making wine since 1880. The dry, sunny climate with warm days and cool nights create a super crisp, vibrant wine with pure fruit flavours of peach and melon. 'Intipalka' means 'valley of the sun' in Quechua, the language of the ancient Inca people.
