100% Chardonnay from Jerez de la Frontera (specifically the Pago Carrascal). For those that enjoy Burgundies, specifically very good Mersault, this is a cuvee made for you.
Manual harvest of north facing vineyard in ‘Pago Carrascal’ at 5 tons of yield per hectare. Whole bunch pressing in a basket press with 550 liters of extraction. Hyper-oxidation of the must. Fermentation of unsettled must in second- and third-year tight grain oak barrels of Damy, François Freres & Cavin tonnelleries. Ageing with full lees for ten months with only one batonnage in mid-winter when lees are fully compacted. Unfiltered & unfined. Sulfured just one time just before bottling at 50ppm total. The wine is only racked one time before bottling and undergoes full malolactic fermentation.
