Alto Limay’s Chardonnay from Patagonia’s San Patricio del Chañar is a vibrant expression of 100% Chardonnay, cultivated in a mix of sand, silt, and limestone bedrock at elevations between 300 and 500 meters, showcases a bright, crystalline character. The wine benefits from a meticulous vinification process, including hand-picking and a gentle 4-hour pneumatic maceration, followed by fermentation with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks. A portion of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, adding a creamy complexity, while the remaining is aged on fine lees for 4 months, contributing depth and texture. Expect a well-balanced palate with lively acidity, hints of citrus, and subtle notes of minerality and green apple, culminating in a refreshing finish.
