Enrique Mendoza Chardonnay Fermentado en Barrica - White Wine

Enrique Mendoza Chardonnay Fermentado en Barrica - White Wine is a white wine from Bodegas Enrique Mendoza, in the Alicante region, made exclusively with Chardonnay grapes from the Finca “El Chaconero” in Villena. It is a wine that expresses a careful and ambitious profile, resulting from a process designed to enhance the grape variety and the influence of barrel aging.

It presents a bright straw-yellow color with golden reflections. The aroma is dominated by characteristic Chardonnay notes, accompanied by smoky hints from barrel fermentation. According to the producer, the grapes were macerated for 3 hours and fermented at low temperatures in new French Allier oak barrels, in contact with the lees, contributing to a more enveloping, spicy, and persistent character.

On the palate, it reveals itself as ample and balanced, with good harmony between acidity, alcohol content and the presence of oak. The finish is long and harmonious, confirming its round and elegant profile. It is recommended to serve it between 9 and 12 ºC. It pairs particularly well with white fish, oily fish and seafood rice dishes.
