Oatmeal, creamy lees, fresh pineapple, hazelnuts and lemon curd. Round and medium-bodied on the palate, with fresh acidity and a creamy, medium-long finish. Very consistent. No malolactic this year, aiming for freshness.

The 2021 Chardonnay Alpha hails from the Casablanca and was aged 12 month in French oak, 30% new. Yellow in hue. In the nose presents notes of creamed corn and green apple over a vanilla layer. Indulgent and creamy in the mouth, the heightened acidity chiseled a taut and refreshing lengthy finish.

Focused and ripe nose full of lemon curd, jack fruit, fine lees and hints of cream and stones. A full-bodied chardonnay with a round, creamy palate, showing lots of flavors in a transparent and elegant mode.
