Viña Calina was established by Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke in 1994 with a state of the art winery in the 95 hectares of the El Maiten estate in the Maule Valley, near the town of Talca. The name Calina apparently comes from the name of the early morning mist that descends from the mountains. Fruit is also bought in from the Maule, Colchagua, Casablanca and Limari Valleys. The red wines are fermented in high maceration tanks followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing in French and American oak. 75% of the Chardonnay is fermented and matured in oak, the remainder in stainless steel.
The Alcance range are all made entirely with their own, estate-grown fruit.
2005 Calina Reserva Chardonnay, Viña Calina, Casablanca Valley (£6-£8)
100% chardonnay, all from Casablanca; 75% fermented in French oak, 25% in stainless steel.
A bit closed on the nose. Simple and unexceptional. 82/100
