Terrazas Reserva Chardonnay

Wine information: Terrazas Reserva wines are hand harvested from select estate vineyards within the top districts of Mendoza: Tupungato Vistalba, Perdriel and Cruz de Piedra. Based on over 47 years of research and experimentation with local microclimates and terrain, each selected terrace has been matched with a unique varietal to express its maximum potential. For this 100% Chardonnay whole-cluster pressed juice is inoculated with yeast and moved to 100% new French oak barrels for fermentation. The lees are stirred twice a week, then once, for the first few months, for a total of eight months in the barrel.

Tasting Notes: Terrazas Reserva Chardonnay is a deep gold center outlined by brilliant yellow highlights. An intense and lively nose, which trumpets melon, white peach, and delicate floral and herbal notes. In the mouth there is an unctuous and ripe tropical fruit core, opens into a lithe and creamy mid-palate balanced by zingy hints of star fruit, and tangerine acidity typical of high elevation Tupungato Chardonnays at 1200 metres / 3900 feet.
