"The Kingpin rules his empire with firm authority. He is lured out of the shadows by the seductive charms of this wine. Behind his frenzied power, the Kingpin also turns out to be very laid-back. In this wine, the Kingpin meets his match."
The Solís Kingpin Blanco is a Spanish Chardonnay in the style of the Enate 234 but with a little wood aging which gives the wine some extra complexity and creaminess. In addition to Chardonnay (main part), the wine also contains Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo which gives the wine freshness and beautiful green tones. The fermentation of the three separate grape varieties takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of a maximum of 15 degrees. This takes 20-25 days. The wine then matures for another 2-3 months on the yeast cells, for extra complexity and creaminess. The Chardonnay matures for 3 months in French oak barrels, with batonnage: the yeast cells give off extra creaminess. Then the blend is made.
In the glass, the Solís Kingpin Blanco is light golden yellow in the glass. In the nose we smell fresh and crisp notes of tropical fruit, peach with fresh citrus notes. In the mouth, the wine is juicy and generous wine with lots of fruit, soft fresh acids and creaminess. This is a delicious glass to enjoy and delicious with paella, tapas or cold cuts.
