Montes Alpha, Casablanca Chardonnay
£15.99
About this wine
The vineyards that produce the Montes Alpha Chardonnay are located in the Aconcagua Costa region. The closeness of the vines to the Pacific Ocean and the pronounced influence of the ocean breezes create ideal conditions for the slow and complete ripening of this Chardonnay.
The highly varied soils, from sandy to loamy-clay texture, lend extraordinary complexity to the wine, with great cool-climate typicity but impressive aromatic expression on the palate.
Grapes were hand picked and then carefully sorted. Some were whole bunched pressed, some cold macerated before processing and some went straight to pressing. After fermentation, 35% of the wine was aged for 12 months in new and old French oak barrels.
Tasting note
From the Montes flagship Alpha range, this elegant Chardonnay has aromas of vanilla, melon and apricots, with balanced acidity and a long finish.
Notes of fresh tropical fruit like peach, papaya, and grapefruit mix well with the vanilla and sweet spices from the oak. On the palate the wine is fresh, with medium body, with notes of yoghurt and dulce de leche that smooth out the wine, giving it staying power.
Food pairing suggestion
This is a very versatile wine. It is highly recommended with salmon tartare, lobster, fresh shellfish, ripe cheeses, and with hot dishes such as crab gratin and mildly sauced white meats and pastas.
