Enate, Chardonnay 234, D.O. Somontano, white wine 1.5l

Enate Chardonnay-234 is a fresh and distinctive white wine from D.O. Somontano in Spain, made from 100% Chardonnay, representing a modern expression of this classic white wine in the style of Mediterranean Chardonnay. Full aromatic notes of fruit and minerality, a harmonious structure and lively acidity combine lightness with complexity while remaining easy to drink. It was created as part of a carefully conceived project aimed at breaking the traditional notion of the fragility of Spanish white wines and offering a wine with character and individuality.

Label: The wine bears an original artwork created for Enate by the painter Pepe Cerdá, part of the winery's philosophy of connecting wine and art - each bottle offers not only a taste experience but a visual one too.

Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay, one of the most versatile and respected white grape varieties, giving wines with a broad aromatic spectrum and good structure.

Production and ageing: The wine is produced as a young white, without ageing in wood, with careful vinification including pre-fermentation skin contact of the must for a richer aromatic profile, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, which supports the purity and freshness of the flavour profiles.

Tasting notes: In the glass it shows a straw-yellow colour with subtle greenish highlights and a rich aroma combining green apple, ripe peach, fennel and exotic fruit against a discreet mineral background. On the palate the wine is full, harmonious and polished, with a pleasant acidity that keeps it fresh, and a slightly honeyed finish that leaves a long, clean impression.

Food pairing: Ideal serving temperature is 10–12°C, slightly higher than the classic "ice-cold" serving, so that all the aromatic layers can fully open up. It goes well with dishes such as fresh and grilled white fish (e.g. baked sea bass, sea bream), seafood and shellfish dishes, light pasta dishes (pasta with pesto, mussel risotto), white meat and poultry, soft cheeses and salads with nuts and herbs. Thanks to its structure and aromatics, the wine also pairs beautifully with lightly spiced Asian dishes.

Alcohol content: 13.5%

Country of origin: Spain, D.O. Somontano, a region with a continental climate and vineyards at higher altitudes, ideal for aromatic, fresh Chardonnay.
