Description

Light yellow color with green hues. It shows notes of white floral and fruits such as peaches, pears and apples; also some herbal notes. Fresh in the mouth, great acidity and attractive mineral character. Great and long finish.

The 2015 Q Chardonnay fermented in concrete vats and well-seasoned 500-liter oak barrels (30%), from grapes mostly from Gualtallary and some from El Peral (roughly 20%), both in the department of Tupungato in the Uco Valley. They have slowly changed the style–the whole clusters are pressed without any protection (read sulfur) and put to ferment, half in cement, half in 500-liter barrels. The wine does not go through malolactic and matures for one year in the barrels before bottling. It has 13.5% alcohol and noticeable acidity (close to eight grams) with a low pH, which should help it age slowly in bottle. There is great purity and precision, a sharp Chardonnay with very little effect of the oak, just a spicy twist, a wine that incites you to drink with effervescent acidity that makes you salivate and cleanses your palate. Great, sharp Chardonnay. 40,000 bottles were filled in March 2016.
