Sunrise Chardonnay grapes are grown near the Andes Mountains in the Central Valley, where the high altitudes and the resulting cool night-time temperature of the vineyards assure slow and steady grape development over the growing season. This allows the Concha y Toro winemakers to produce a Chardonnay of great character and elegance. Sunrise Chardonnay is fruity and crisp. Fresh, dry, well bodied with a nice balance makes it easy to drink.. Excellent with chicken, seafood, veal and pork dishes as well as medium-sauced pastas. Serve chilled.
