Castillo Monjardín Chardonnay Fermentado en Barrica White wine

Castillo Monjardín Chardonnay Fermentado en Barrica 2022 is a stunning expression of the renowned Chardonnay variety, carefully crafted at Bodegas Castillo de Monjardín, located in the picturesque Ázqueta estate. This exquisite white wine boasts an alcohol content of 13.5%, reflecting the dedication and expertise that goes into its production.

The wine undergoes fermentation and aging in new French oak barrels for eight months, during which it is regularly batonnaged with its own lees. This meticulous process imparts a smooth, pale golden color with subtle green hues, making for a visually appealing presentation. On the nose, this Chardonnay initially reveals toasty and roasted notes from the oak, while maintaining the fresh character typical of the varietal.

As the wine opens up, delightful fruit aromas, particularly ripe banana, become more pronounced, complemented by a gentle integration of wood. There’s a refreshing acidity that tantalizes the gums and the back of the palate, culminating in a pleasant finish that is neither overly intense nor lingering.

This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it an excellent choice for rice dishes, grilled red meats, oven-roasted rabbit, and lamb.
