The Vineyard

The grapes come from a 2.3-hectare plot planted in 1997, located within the Dehesa del Carrizal estate.

The vineyard is cultivated in a privileged environment where continental influence and thermal amplitude favor slow ripening, preserving the freshness and aromatic intensity of the Chardonnay.

Winemaking

Fermentation takes place in 500-liter French oak and Eastern European oak barrels, combining new and one-year-old barrels.

After fermentation, the wine remains for approximately five months on its fine lees, undergoing aging that provides greater aromatic complexity, creamy texture, and volume on the palate.

It then rests in the bottle for at least six months before being released to the market, thus achieving an excellent harmony between fruit and aging.

Tasting Notes

It has an attractive bright yellow color with greenish reflections.

On the nose, aromas of ripe white fruit stand out, accompanied by delicate notes of honey, fine pastry, and subtle toasted hints from the aging.

On the palate, it is fresh, unctuous, and balanced, with a silky texture that coats the palate and a long, persistent finish.

The integration of fruit, acidity, and wood brings elegance and depth to the whole.

Pairing

Perfect to accompany seafood, baked fish, seafood rice dishes, poultry, soft cheeses, and high-end appetizers.

Recommended serving temperature: 10 ºC.

Dehesa del Carrizal Chardonnay 2022 is a white wine of great personality that combines freshness, complexity, and finesse. A wine capable of evolving in the glass and showing, sip by sip, all the elegance of a Chardonnay crafted with precision and patience.
