This wine is an amazing blend. (25% of the former and 75% of the latter). Stainless steel-fermented and aged, this may be the finest Chardonnay value in the world. The wine possesses an amazing, fruit-driven personality, with peach, apricot, and honeyed fruit, low acidity, a fat, plump, forward character, and a clean, pure finish. Its tropical fruit characteristics are very New World-ish. Drink it over the next 12 months. This family-owned (eight separate families) winery in Navarra, in the foothills of the Pyrenees has become one of the leading sources of terrific wine values. The production from all estate-grown fruit is about 66,000 cases, of which half is sold in America. As I have reported in previous issues, these wines are must purchases for readers seeking to maximize their purchasing power.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel.
