Corralillo Chardonnay
Made with Organic Grapes
Tasting Notes
Pale-yellow in color, with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, white flowers, and a hint of minerality. The palate is smooth and balanced, with precise acidity that delivers a complex and fresh finish. It is a classic expression of Chardonnay, highlighting the coastal climate of the winery’s vineyards.
Vineyards
This wine is made with organic grapes, that come from the winery’s vineyards with Mercier clones, biodynamically managed in the El Rosario Valley. The soils of the vineyard have a granite- sandy texture with slopes that have more clay and granite in varying amounts.
Winemaking
Harvested by hand, bunches were selected and then gently pressed whole, with few rotations, using a classic pressing method. Seventy percent of the must was fermented in French oak barrels while the remaining thirty percent was fermented in stainless-steel tanks. Periodic punch-downs were performed as the lees were stirred. Ten percent of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for ten months on its lees, with seventy percent of the wine aged in French oak barrels, while thirty percent remained on its lees in stainless-steel tanks.
