UNO Chardonnay

The grapes come from Pago Planacor, a dry-farmed vineyard with sandy-clay soils and a Mediterranean inland climate. After 60 hours of cold settling, the must ferments at around 18 °C in new, fine-grained French oak barrels; spontaneous fermentation has not been documented. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in the barrels. The wine ages for 19 months on its lees, from 9 September 2019 to 6 April 2021. It shows ripe peach, lactic notes, nuts, nougat, roasted aromas and minerality. On the palate it combines freshness with pronounced richness and a long finish. It was neither fined nor stabilised and may contain sediment. The limited bottling comprises 835 numbered bottles.
