In a recent blind tasting led by renowned US wine educator Matthew Horkey, Amelia Chardonnay 2023 was selected as the No.1 wine, standing out among a lineup of five Chardonnays from leading regions in the United States, including California and Oregon.<\/em><\/p>\n

In this demanding format \u2014where labels, origin and any potential bias are removed\u2014 Amelia was the only Chilean wine in the selection, outperforming internationally acclaimed benchmarks and confirming its quality on a level playing field.<\/p>\n

The assessment was unequivocal. Matthew Horkey described it as: \u201cOne of the highest-scored white wines in the history of this channel. 96+ points, this is the Amelia Chardonnay 2023, made by Concha y Toro. This is a wine geek\u2019s wine \u2014 it\u2019s slaty, it\u2019s lean, it\u2019s mineral \u2014 outstanding. I know all these wines are not cheap, but to me this is worth every penny. I think it\u2019s excellent, especially if you like that high-acid, mineral-driven style. Concha y Toro knows what they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Matthew Horkey visited Chile last year, where he had already highlighted the exceptional quality of Amelia, including it among his standout wines of 2025. This new recognition \u2014this time in a blind tasting\u2014 further reinforces the wine\u2019s consistency and consolidates its positioning as one of the leading cool-climate Chardonnays on the global stage.<\/p>\n
