Description

The Chardonnay grapes for this wine come from the D.O. Valle Central region, where sandy clay soil covers the surface to a depth of 1.5 meters. The 2022 vintage was marked by a shortage of water, reducing yields and consequently providing concentration to the wine. The cooling of spring slowed down ripening and ensured sufficient acidity. As temperatures rose during harvesting, fermentation of the wine occurred in cooled stainless steel tanks at a very low temperature to achieve abundant fruitiness. One-third of the wine matured for 4 months in French oak barrels, and the wine spent six months in the bottle.
