The Colección 125 Blanco comes from a selection of grapes from a single plot known as "Las Mercedes” located on a north-facing slope with a clay-loam texture at an altitude of 480 m. Thanks to this location, combined with the influence of the Atlantic-Continental climate, the Chardonnay varietal is able to ripen gradually, without drying out or producing an excessive increase in potential alcohol, while preserving excellent levels of acidity, aromatic potential and expressiveness.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Ripe white peach and apricot mingle with citrus zest and hints of dried lemon rind. There are also toasted nut notes, vanilla, a touch of brioche, and subtle cedar, cloves and oak spices.
Palate: Full-to-medium-full bodied, creamy and textured with good richness. Fruit flavours of stone fruit (peach, apricot) and pear are layered over citrus undertones. Oak adds complexity: toast, vanilla, nutty and bready / brioche character. Balanced acidity keeps it from being heavy.
Finish: Long lingering. The oak-derived spices and toast persist, along with a mineral or slightly saline edge.
Alcohol: 14% / Varietal: 100% Chardonnay / Origin: Navarra, Spain
