Grapes varieties

Chardonnay (100%)

Winemaking

The grapes were picked in perfect condition and at optimum ripeness and placed in a pneumatic press were they underwent gentle pressing. Static settling at 8 ºC allowed the solid residue to be removed and, once clean, the must was transferred to new french oak barrels for both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine was then left in contact with the lees during seven months in the same barrels with fortnightly battônage. Finally it was clarified with bentonite and stabilized at -5 ºC in order to eliminate excess potassium bitartrate.

Tasting notes

Color : yellow

Nose : Exuberant and complex aromas reveal a tantalizing blend of varietal characteristics such as hazelnut and toasted bread; tropical fruits, including pineapple and grapefruit, and hints of toasted oak from the barrel aging.

Mouth : mouth-filling and creamy and develops beautifully with a fresh acidity that finishes in an extraordinarily long finish, during which nuances of toastiness reappear.

Alc. 14.0% by vol. (depending on vintage) / net 750ML
