Vina Carmen Chardonnay Maipo Valley Chile
Description: • Winemaker Comments: The fruitiness in the nose and the freshness on the palate show a good example of a well balance wine. The complexity given by the oak adds a pleasant creamy sensation. The green-yellow littering colour reminds limes, peaches, pineapples and lemons. This medium-bodied wine has an elegant and long finish. • Winemaking techniques: 100% of the grapes were handpicked and carefully selected before pressing. The grapes were crushed and macerated with the skins for 5 hours. With the skin contact we are looking for the intensity of the aromas and the elegance in the palate, the vineyards from warmer areas of Casablanca give the structure and a very concentrated body. After the pressing, which is one of the most important steps for the white wines, the juice was finned, racked and fermented in tanks and in barrels , where it remained during 4 month before blending and bottling. No malolactic fermentation was made in this wine. (12 x 75 cl)
