Bressano Chardonnay

Blend: 100% Chardonnay

Location: Gualtallary, El Peral & Vista Flores, Uco Valley, Mendoza

Altitude: 990-1,350 m.a.s.l

Alcohol: 14% ABV

Tasting Note: Intense greenish yellow colour. Its aromas are reminiscent of ripe white fruits, with citrus and spicy notes such as thyme and ginger, intertwined with hints of vanilla, toasted almonds and caramel, contributed by fermentation and ageing in French oak. On the palate it has a sweet, unctuous, oily impact, refreshed by a marked acidity, which makes it long and persistent.

Vinification: Manual harvesting in 300 kg plastic bins followed by direct pressing of the bunches in pneumatic presses. Natural static clarification of the must at low temperature. Fermentation in 100% French oak barrels, with light to medium toasting. 40% new oak and 60% second, third and fourth use oak. Batonnage once a week during alcoholic fermentation. No malolactic fermentation.

Vegetarian: Yes

Vegan: Yes

Food Match: Pan-fried brill with Sauce Grenobloise, salmon with asparagus, corn-fed poussin simply roasted with its juices, cream or cheese-based sauces.
