CHARDONNAY
13,5º
VINEYARD
Single cordon trellis vineyard with drip irrigation. A canopy at 1.5 m and cover crop increase competition for water, which results in small, loose clusters with highly concentrated berries. Exposure during the sun’s most intense hours is naturally prevented by the northeast-southwest orientation.
SOIL
Slightly sloping clay loam with moderate silt content featuring significant organic material as well as salts and abundant gypsum.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS
The grapes harvested by hand under the morning sun were immediately delivered to a pneumatic vertical press. Racking harnessed the flow of gravity to transfer must into new barrels, where alcoholic fermentation took place, followed by two months of malolactic fermentation.
AEGING
The wine was aged for twelve months in selected medium-toasted French oak barrels.
Colour: Golden yellow with subtle greenish reflections.
Nose: Ripe yellow tropical fruits elegantly complemented by delicate hints of hazelnut and toasted vanilla.
Taste: A well-structured palate, with a creamy texture, great depth and persistence, and an overall sense of elegance.
Pairing: White fish, shellfish, smoked dishes and rice.
Ideally served at a temperature: 10º to 11º C.
