Description:
The micro-climate, the sandy-clay soil of Cañada del Trigo, as well as the mixing of 60 year old vines with young ones from the variety of Chardonnay produce this great wine. Made in the most traditional way, fermentation in new French barrels (225 lts Seguin Moreau) during nine months. Golden - Yellow in color, clean and brilliant. Delicate aroma of tropical fruits, peach, butter, honey and toasted oak, a complex and balanced flavor; oily body and a long - lasting aftertaste.

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.
