Cousiño-Macul Classic Chardonnay
Cousiño-Macul Classic Chardonnay
Characterized by healthy fruit with excellent flavor and maturity, the harvest began in early March and grapes were hand selected before being crushed. The must was fermented in stainless steel tanks at 55°F for a period of 30 days. To add complexity, two different varieties of yeast were used that work slowly in cool conditions to bring out different fruit characteristics. In order to retain the fresh fruit flavors, the wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation.
Tasting Notes
Light golden in color with bright steely notes, this Chardonnay has very delicate and elegant floral bouquet. Aromas of pineapple and apple open to a full-bodied and ripe palate that is bright, firm and rich with a long, smooth finish.
Food Pairing
This wine is a great companion for seafood, sautéed prawns, garlic butter clams and sushi. It also pairs well with green salads and rich cheeses like triple-cream brie.
