KaikenUltra,MendozaChardonnay,Mendoza,,Argentina,2023

This wine is golden yellow in colour with deeper hues. On the nose, aromas of candied pear and quince with subtle lime and pink grapefruit hints intertwine with subtle mineral notes. The palate is rich and complex, with delicate aromas of toast, hazelnut and sweet spice from the barrel ageing balance with honey and dried white flowers. The finish is long with a pleasing oily texture.

Grapes were hand harvested and sorted manually at the winery. Alcoholic fermentation lasted for 21 days at temperatures of around 16°C. 65% of the juice was fermented in small concrete tanks to preserve freshness and purity of the fruit. Weekly lees bâtonnage took place in both tanks and barrels. The rest of the juice was fermented in new French oak barrels, where it remained for 12 months. The wine finally spent two months in bottle before release.
