Product Description
Details
A well-known Spanish white wine produced by the Enrique Mendoza winery, Enrique Mendoza Chardonnay Fermentado en Barrica is a varietal Chardonnay made from grapes coming from a single vineyard, Finca El Chaconero.
Located in the sunny southeastern Spanish region of Alicante, the vineyard is farmed following environmentally friendly procedures. Thus, fertilizers are of animal origin, and the winery uses no chemical pesticides or insecticides.
Carefully selected, the grapes of this white wine from Alicante were cold-soaked for several hours prior to fermentation.
Then, Enrique Mendoza Chardonnay Fermentado en Barrica 2022 was fermented and subsequently aged for 6 months on lees in new French oak barrels with frequent pump-overs.
Pair this vegan white wine with creamy goat cheeses and white meat recipes.
