A Chardonnay is mainly made in stainless steel, with 20% of the wine spending six months in new French oak barrels. The wine's freshness is preserved with the use of stainless steel; however, picking early (at only 12%abv), this wine is bright and dazzling. Aromatics are rich and ripe, with grilled pineapple and toasted marshmallow notes showing an intensity of ripe fruit. The palate is rich, bold, and elegantly balanced; only 25% of this wine goes through malolactic fermentation. Fresh lemon curd flavours and almond pastry cream highlight a beautiful, fleshy texture.  Tasted with winemaker Jesús Rivera and owner Gustavo Ortega Joaquín in November of 2024 at the estate.
