VARIETAL COMPOSITION :
50% Chardonnay / 50% Viognier
FROM :
Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo. 1030 meters above sea level.
Soft green color. Fruity tropical aromas like pineapple and bananas. Also apricot and white peach mixed with citrus notes. Complex and smooth on palate, with subtle flavor reminiscent of honey. Ideal as an aperitif with white cheeses. Also in combination with frozen creams and desserts.
Obtention of the juice by pneumatic pressing. The juice is cooled at 6-8 °C to settle the sediments. Addition of selected yeast to start the alcoholic fermentation. Control of the fermentation temperature at 16-18 °C.
We stop the fermentation by physical action (cooling temperature), leaving a remnant of natural sugar.
Each grape is processed separately and once the fermentation has stopped, both varietals are blended.
