95 points Tim Atkin, MW: "This wonderfully off-beat Chardonnay, entirely fermented in stainless steel barrels, is an equal blend of grapes from the Longomilla and Nicolasa vineyards. Creamy, cloudy and unfiltered, with amazing focus and poise and a tangy, chalky aftertaste. Chile meets Chablis. 2019-2024."

94 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "This time, I like the white wines much better than the reds. And the 2017 White Wine 1 Chardonnay transcends the vintage, which was a little warmer (even if in this northern location the effect of the vintages is quite mild), and follows the vibrant and pungent line of the 2016. It has citrus notes, lemon peel and something leafy (I want to think of citrus leafs used in Asian cuisine) and an explosive palate with sharp acidity and moderate alcohol. This is delicious. In 2018, part of the wine is being matured in oak foudres and part in concrete eggs, and they are very happy with the results. I'm looking forward to trying it. Drink 2020-2023. (02/28/20)."
