Details
Made by the Enrique Mendoza winery, the wine Enrique Mendoza Chardonnay Fermentado en Barrica is a varietal Chardonnay sourced from a single vineyard, Finca El Chaconero.
Located in the sunny southeastern Spanish region of Alicante, the vineyard is farmed following environmentally friendly procedures.
Carefully selected, the grapes of this Spanish white wine from Alicante were cold-soaked for several hours prior to fermentation.
Then, Enrique Mendoza Chardonnay Fermentado en Barrica 2023 was fermented and subsequently aged for some 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.
