Barrel fermented white wine.
Freshness and smoothness on a white ground of red.
· 100% Chardonnay
· 12.000 Boredeaux bottles (75 cl.)
The vines that give rise to this wine are found in Quintanilla de Onésimo (Valladolid), in the heart of Castilla y León. 20 and more years old vines, grown according the traditional methods.
The vines of Chardonnay grape variety are planted in the La Planta estate on a very specific soil, argilo-calcareous and the sub-soil is pure limestone at one meter from the surface. Altitude at 900 metres.
The grapes are picked by hand, when they have reached the optimum ripeness, in plastic crates of 15 Kg. The bunches go to the hydraulic press passing through a sorting table.
The pressing is light and at a low temperature, maintaining the grapes cool. After a natural decanting for one night, the juice is racked into new French oak barrels, where the alcoholic fermentation is carried out and at the end of the alcoholic fermentation “battonnages” are performed. The wine is racked once after six months, keeping the fruit and its elegance.
VISUAL: Straw - yellow colour. Bright and dense with new gold sparkles.
NOSE: Intense and complex aromas. Notes of tropical fruits combined with light flavorings of butter, toasted bread and nuts.
MOUTH: Creamy and tasty, full of hints, emphasis on fresh sensations and a lingering finish. The aromatic nuances show a great expression of fruit and toast.
