Estate Chardonnay

The grapes for this wine come from vineyards located at the foot of the Andes Mountains in the Central Valley. The irrigation of the vines comes from the river which runs directly from the Andes range to the Pacific Ocean. The grapes were harvested in March with a complete level of maturity in order to show all their aromatic potential. This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes that were fermented in stainless steel at a low temperature to retain freshness and acidity. The wine is aged for three months in stainless steel before release from the winery.

Tasting Notes

This Chardonnay of bright pale-yellow color, shows aromas of fresh fruits, especially pears, apples and pineapple. On the
palate the wine displays a fresh and delicate style and a balanced acidity, making it very easy to drink.

Food Pairing

Pair with crab cakes, pasta alla carbonara, or fried chicken.  Great as an aperitif or paired with seafood.
