Gaia Chardonnay

DemeterSpontaneous fermentation

Producer: Domaine Bousquet
Colour: White
Grape varieties: Chardonnay
Origin: Gualtallary, Tupungato, Gualtallary, Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, Argentina

The vines stand at around 1,200 metres in Gualtallary. The soil is sandy and calcareous, with approximately 70 to 100 centimetres of sand over a limestone-rich layer; alluvial and partly stony sections contribute to the mineral impression. The grapes are hand harvested and pressed as whole bunches at low temperature. Fermentation takes place over 30 days with natural yeasts in oak barrels, followed by six months of ageing in French oak. The nose shows pear, ripe peach, coconut and vanilla. On the palate, it is soft, creamy and full-bodied, with refreshing acidity.
