ENATE | CHARDONNAY BARREL 2024 75cl

Product Sheet – Enate Chardonnay Barrica 2023

Enate Chardonnay Barrica 2023 is a fresh Pyrenean song that emerges in Somontano, where Chardonnay grows in limestone vineyards at 600m altitude. Enate, a pioneer in the area, ferments and ages this white wine in new French oak barrels for seven months, delighting with an aromatic palette that blends white fruit, toasted notes, and elegant creaminess.

The harvest is manual, followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrels. The wine remains on its lees with bi-weekly bâtonnage, before being clarified, stabilized, and bottled after six months of bottle aging.

Cereal yellow with golden reflections. The nose seduces with ripe white fruit, pineapple and grapefruit, notes of toasted bread, walnuts and soft smoky hints that express the ideal fusion between wood and variety. On the palate it is dense, creamy and balanced, with notes of vanilla, citrus and a long, persistent finish where freshness and texture go hand in hand.

Enate Chardonnay Barrica 2023 is the perfect union between the Pyrenean terroir, the French elegance of oak, and Mediterranean freshness, a high-altitude white wine with a sophisticated soul.
