Trapiche Collection Roble Chardonnay

Wine information: Trapiche with over 120 years of history and owning over 1000 hectares of vineyards, are the number one exporter of Argentine wine in the world. 100% Chardonnay from Trapiche vineyards Finca Las Palmas, Cruz de Piedra, Maipú, and Finca 1883 in Coquimbito, Maipú, both in Mendoza Province. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted. After destemming and pressing the must is subject to a controlled, cool fermentation then 30% of the wine is allowed a malo-lactic fermentation on the lees. The complete quantity is then aged for nine months in French and American oak barrels.

Tasting Notes: Trapiche Collection Roble Chardonnay is a yellow greenish colour. Aromas of toasted bread and warm apple pie. Delicious natural flavour of grapes, combined with delicacy of oak. Round, with good underlying acidity.

Food & drink match: A richly flavoured but elegant wine which will complement fine fish dishes, asparagus, poultry and soft cheeses. In Argentina it might be served with fruit.
