2021 Enate Chardonnay Ferm Barrica Magnum

93 Peñin points and 1 wax seal La Guía TodoVino has received this dry but full typical Chardonnay. An absolute must for lovers of a full, buttery Chardonnay with wood tones. For us one of the best Chardonnays The Chardonnay Fermentado en Barrica is a classic barrel-fermented Chardonnay, which spends the 6-8 months in new French oak barriques with battonage. Butterscotch swings out the glass. Beautiful, deep yellow color with a green tinge. Complex aromatic with the classic notes of wood-fermented and laid-on chardonnay (hazelnuts, toasted bread, smoke), complemented by fresh fruity notes (pineapple, grapefruit). Full, creamy mouthfeel, fresh and complex, with a long and balanced finish. Storage: quickly accessible, several years of installation without any problems. This version is a beautiful 1.5 liter magnum. Even tastier!!

The Enate Chardonnay Barrica (wood aged) comes from the Somontano region in northern Spain. The Enate Chardonnay Barrica is made by the ultra-modern Bodega Enate. In addition to the brilliant quality, the outfit also stands out. Spain's best contemporary visual artists make the labels. The hand-picked trusses are destemmed. The grapes are lightly crushed and soaked on the skins for 5 hours. After pneumatic pressing, a natural settling follows at 10°C. The young, clean must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at 15°C. Before bottling, the young wine undergoes a cold stabilization treatment at -5°C to enhance its aromatic purity. A great example of how good the Burgundy grape variety Chardonnay feels in the northeast of Spain!
