Enate Chardonnay Fermented in Barrel 2021 75cl.
The Enate Chardonnay Fermented in Barrel 2021 white wine is a true flagship of Bodegas Enate that exudes a magnificent balance between fruit and oak and in which the relevance of impeccable work carried out with the lees and its aging in barrels is evident. A wine that always rises to the podium of the great Spanish wines. And it is the perfect ally for fatty fish, such as lacquered salmon with soy reduction, or white meats, smoked meats and spicy dishes such as sautéed rice with curried prawns, to cheeses with great character and desserts, such as an apple tatin with walnut powder. Its label is an original design for Enate by artist Antonio Saura.

PREPARATION
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay.
For the production of Enate Chardonnay Fermented in Barrel 2021 white wine the grapes arrive at the winery in perfect health and optimal ripeness. They are introduced into a pneumatic press, where gentle and moderate pressing is carried out. Once the solid residues of the must have been removed by static settling at 8ºC, the clean must undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. The wine remains in contact with its lees in the same barrels for seven months, with fortnightly batônnages. Finally, the wine is clarified with bentonite and stabilized at -5ºC to eliminate excess potassium bitartrate.
TASTING
View: Bright straw yellow color.
Nose: Complex and exuberant aroma in which the varietal character (hazelnut, toasted bread) merges with notes of tropical fruit (pineapple and grapefruit) and with smoky touches provided by barrel aging.
Mouth: Dense and creamy, with ample development and fresh acidity that evolves towards an extraordinarily long and balanced finish in which fine toasted nuances reappear.
Recommended temperature: 9-12º C.
