Vineyards
This Chardonnay and Viura blend is sourced from organically managed vineyards in La Mancha, set at an elevation of 700 metres. The vineyards benefit from La Mancha’s continental climate, marked by hot, dry summers and cold winters, ideal for balancing the crisp acidity of Viura with the richness of Chardonnay.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to capture fresh, vibrant fruit flavours. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to preserve aromatic intensity and the varietal character of each grape, resulting in a well-rounded, expressive white blend.
Appearance
Pale yellow with greenish hues, reflecting its freshness and youth.
Nose
Aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus are complemented by floral notes and a hint of tropical fruit, showcasing the blend's aromatic complexity.
Palate
This wine is fresh and balanced, with crisp acidity and flavours of orchard fruits and citrus. The Chardonnay brings body, while Viura adds a lively, refreshing character, leading to a clean, zesty finish.
Food pairing
Ideal for pairing with seafood, light salads, mild cheeses and light Mediterranean inspired dishes.
