Description
The Grey Chardonnay wine comes from the Casablanca Valley. The grapes are harvested by hand and originate from a single vineyard called Tapihue. Temperatures were mild, meaning that the grapes ripened slowly and the wines are well-balanced, fresh and aromatic. 80% of the wine was fermented in French oak barrels, of which 10% were new. The remaining 20% was fermented in vats to retain the fruity character of the wine. Then, the wine was aged on the lees for 12 months to increase the freshness and aromatic complexity of the wine.
Tasting Notes :
This wine is a bright, pale yellow. The nose is elegant and complex with prominent aromas of tropical fruit, such as papayas, mango and pineapple, complemented by soft notes of vanilla and dried fruits contributed by the ageing in French oak. This is a well-rounded wine with good body and delicious acidity. The finish is soft and dominated by tropical fruit and smooth vanilla.
