Winemaker Notes
Bright, pale golden color. Hints of citric fruit, pineapple and apple. Sparkling, tasty mouthfeel that refreshes and invites you to another sip. Thanks to its outstanding acidity, this wine can be consumed, all its freshness assured, within its first three years. After this time, the acidity rounds off, giving way to a long, unctuous finish.
An excellent aperitif. Ideal with light summer dishes: salad, grilled white fish, prawns, and molluscs.
One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
Just north of Spain’s famous Rioja region, Navarra excels in the production of full and fruit-dominant reds and good quality, dry rosés. Garnacha holds most of the land under vine, with Tempranillo coming in second place.
