Bodega la Rural San Felipe Chardonnay Barrel selection

Bodega la Rural San Felipe Chardonnay Barrel selection from Mendoza Argentina. Because of the high quality of these grapes, they are able to make a wood-aged wine. 60% of the wine matures for 7 months in French oak before bottling. The result is a rich, plump and oily Chardonnay, with tropical character both on the palate and the nose. The finish is well structured and has a nice length.

Chardonnay, the grape of white Burgundy and Champagne, is planted all over the world. Delivers good to very good wine with a full, dry taste. Chardonnay is a grape that does not have a clear character, which depends on the terroir (soil and climate) and the method of wine making. Chardonnay lends itself very well to maturing in wooden barrels.
