Chardonnay
White Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine shows an intense straw yellow color and nuanced of golden yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals good personality with intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with a hint of toasted followed by good aromas of banana, apple, pear and grapefruit followed by aromas of hawthorn, yeast, vanilla and a pleasing hint of flint. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly crisp attack however well balanced by alcohol, good body and intense flavors. The finish is persistent with pleasing flavors of peach, grapefruit and pear. This wine ferments in barrique and ages on its lees for one year followed by 8-12 months of aging in bottle.
