Casal Sta Chardonnay Branco 2023

Vineyards: Grapes from our original vineyards, planted in 2006 by Mr. Barão Bodo von Bruemmer, located in Casal Sta. Maria.

Grape Varieties: Chardonnay

Tasting Notes: Beautiful yellow color with golden reflections. Aromatically, it presents notes of stone fruit, such as peach and apricot, accompanied by light citrus. The well-integrated buttery sensations, with a touch of anise and vanilla come from the bâtonnage in barrel. The acidity is medium-high and accompanied by salty impressions, which are well balanced by the silky and ample body. At the end we have some notes of barrels that give it firmness and good gastronomic character.

Vinification: The hand-picked grapes underwent a rigorous selection both in the vineyard and in the cellar. After a light crushing and 4h of skin maceration, static decantation was followed for 48h. Fermentation was carried out in used 225L French oak barrels. Finally, it aged in barrels for 14 months with monthly bâtonnage.

Consumption: It should be drunk at around 8-10ºC.

Winemaking: Jorge Rosa Santos and Antonio Figueiredo.

Viticulture: José Ribeiro Corrêa.
