Santa Rita Tres Medallas Chardonnay

Bright, pale, clean golden yellow in color. Fresh on the nose with notes recalling honey, fruits like peaches and banana, with a light touch of citrus, and elegantly complemented by sweet vanilla and caramel notes from the contact with American and French oak. The palate is creamy and well balanced with very good acidity highlighting its juiciness and persistence.

Ideal with well-seasoned fish such as salmon and also with shellfish. It also pairs well with pastas, white meats, salads, and mild cheeses. Serve at 10º–12°C.

The preferred time to harvest the grapes is at night, while the fruit is cool. The grapes are then destemmed, very gently crushed, and pressed immediately. Some of the must obtained is protected against oxidation throughout the entire process, while others are fermented without protection to allow some oxidation for greater aromatic complexity, creaminess, and volume on the palate. Fermentation takes place with very clean (decanted) musts and at low temperatures to ensure varietal typicity and maximum fresh-fruit aromas.
