White Wine Augustus Chardonnay 2022
Availability: In stock
A varietal Chardonnay, Augustus Chardonnay is produced from vineyards located in the heart of Penedès, close to the Mediterranean Sea. Besides benefiting from an exceptionally bening climate, the sea breeze gives a distinctively saline nuance to the grapes.
Crafted by the Avgvstvs Forum winery, the grapes were harvested all along August. This Spanish white wine was vinified using only the "free-run" juice coming from the first, gentlest pressing of the grapes.
Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations took place inside 300-litre French oak barrels. Finally, Augustus Chardonnay 2022 was aged for 4 months in the barrels.
Prior to its bottling, this organic white wine was delicately filtered.
This varietal white wine from Penedès is subtly mineral and quite special.

---|---|
Nose | Intense and sophisticated, this Chardonnay suggests aromas of passion fruit, candied lemon rind and dry fruit, with some mineral undertones, dim toasted nuances, and hints of pastry and sweet spices. |
Palate | This wine from Celler Avgvstvs Forvm is textured and rich, with notes of pineapple compote, smoke, white flowers, almonds, English custard and citrus. Excellent acidity and a long, fresh finish. |
Our personal opinion | Creamy, fresh and complex, Augustus Chardonnay 2022 will pair excellently with hearty fish dishes and creamy cheeses. |
