Chardonnay | D.O.Ca. Rioja
TASTING SHEET
SERVICE TEMPERATURE: 10-12 ºC
WINEMAKING
The Chardonnay grape is destemmed , cold-macerated and pressed softly in the cellar located in the centre of the property itself, avoiding contact with oxygen during all pre-fermentation operations. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a temperature of 16ºC to extract all the aromatic potential from this variety. New, untoasted, steam bent French oak barrels are used in the alcoholic fermentation process. Once finished, a periodic suspension of the lees (battonage) is done in order to keep the fruitiness of the wine and increase its complexity, smoothness and longevity.
TASTING NOTES
By respecting the fruity and floral aromas of the variety, the fermentation in barrels contributes a marked smoothness and aromatic complexity, combining tropical fruit notes (pineapple) with the delicate aroma of vanilla. The origin and treatment of the chosen French oak respects to the maximum the delicacy and fineness of this chardonnay.
FOOD PAIRING
A good match with a fish stew, rice soup, foie, oily fish and seafood.
