One of Spain's best Chardonnays!
The pride of Augustus.
The ageing in oak is not so long as it used to be.
The barrels are heavily toasted, and so is the wine - not to be confused with oaky notes. This leaves room for very seductive fruity notes.

Vinification
Coming from 4 vineyards, it was harvested between August 10 and 17.
After being pressed, most of it underwent alcoholic fermentation, malolactic
fermentation and aging on the lees in 300L first- and second-use
French oak barrels for 4 months. The other part fermented and aged
on lees in a stainless-steel tank at low temperature. It was clarified,
stabilized, and filtered before bottling.

Storage potential
Drink as from : 2022
Best moment : 2024-2026
Until : 2029

To serve
Serve at 12°C in a Burgundy glass.

Trial analysis
Deep golden colour.
Toasty notes, fresh almonds, nuts and sweet pear. Juicy, creamy, round and well balanced on the palate - grape notes, with a nice underlying acidity. Top Chardonnay with a Mediterranean accent.

Wine estate

Pioneers of the Penedès.
Famous for their Chardonnay - one of Spain's very best. But their excellent vinegar is now more than half of their turnover.
