Chardonnay-234

The grapes come from the historic vineyard site 234 in Valle de Enate at an altitude of around 400 metres; the estate’s vineyards are located in Somontano on calcareous, stony and partly gypsum-bearing, sandy-loam soils. The grapes, picked at night, undergo five hours of skin contact. After 48 hours of static settling at 10 °C, the must ferments at 16 °C in stainless-steel tanks with selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts. The wine is fined with bentonite and stabilised at -5 °C. It displays green apples, ripe peach, fennel, guava and passion fruit, with a full, creamy texture, lively acidity lending freshness, a mineral undertone and a slightly sweet finish. The 2025 vintage was picked early, from 11 August, following a hot, dry summer; it was bottled in November 2025.
