The wine Unzu Chardonnay is an elegant white wine made by Bodega Unzu, the personal project of Mr. Julián Chivite, former president of Bodegas Julián Chivite.
Made from Chardonnay vines around 25 years of age, this white wine from Navarra is sourced from vineyards with clay-limestone soils located in the Carratudela and Molengo lieux-dits of Cintruénigo (Navarra). The climate is Continental with an Atlantic influence.
The grapes were hand-picked and meticulously selected, after which 40% of this Spanish white wine from IGP 3 Riberas was fermented in new French oak barrels. Then, 60% of the white wine Unzu Chardonnay 2024 was aged on lees for 6 months.
Besides its quality, the handsome packaging of this white wine from IGP 3 Riberas makes it quite irresistible.

Nose | This varietal Chardonnay wine suggests a dim note of vanilla and nuts, intertwined with ripe pineapple, citrus oil and quince jelly, underpinned by a smokey and balsamic note. |
Palate | This wine of Bodega Unzu is creamy and seductive, with a leesy note, a well-rounded mid palate and a tapering, lively acidity. Savoury and structured, with a note of smoked butter and a long finish reminiscent of tropical fruit and spice. |
