Hacienda Albae Chardonnay

Following 40 years of growing grapes, the Carpintero family decided it was time to turn their amazing fruit into their own wines. In 2001, they began experimenting and a few years later they were convinced they had the right quality fruit for the wines they wanted to make. The winery was built in the heart of La Mancha, surrounded by their own vineyards and is one of the most beautiful and technologically advanced wineries in the region. No expense has been spared to ensure maximum quality, their very clear goal. State of the art fermentation tanks so they can vinified each parcel seperately. Their own machine harvesters allows them to pick at the perfect point of ripeness, which passes quickly here in the hot dry planes of central Spain. A stunning and well equipped barrel cellar provides the finishing touch.

Made 100% from grapes from our own vineyard. The grapes are carefully monitored during their maturation in order to obtain a wine that expresses the freshness and elegance of this variety. The goal is to harvest the grapes with an ideal balance of acidity and fruit concentration. After careful assessment in the vineyards, the grapes for this wine are picked at their optimal ripeness. The grapes are harvested at night in the middle on August.

Tasting Note:
It is a complex wine with the aroma of pineapple, exotic fruits and green apple. Its short time in oak gives a light oak background. The mouth feel is rich, ample and very persistent.
