Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

Star bright and pale straw colour with

flashes of lime green towards the

meniscus. Beautiful aromas of lemon,

melon, a hint of pineapple and toast. The

palate is full, balanced and lingering with a

hint of citrus, creamy and a hint of vanilla.

This Reserve Chardonnay has an aging

potential and will reward 2 to 5 years

of cellaring.

Grapes are brought in as cool as possible

– facilitated by early morning harvesting.

Preference is given to free-run juice.

Wild-yeast Fermentation is started in

tank. A portion finished in tank and the

rest finishing fermentation in barrel.

The trademark fresh and optimally ripe

fruit characters are showcased beautifully

through the tank fermentation while

the barrel fermented portion adds

beautiful complexity

Other awards for this wine/spirit

Gold in the International Wine Awards

for Spain 2019

• Double Gold Award in the Top 100, 2019
