"CHARDONNAY MON AMOUR
Since 1989, at Pago Finca Élez we have been cultivating the Chardonnay vine from a single clone from Burgundy, which we planted in the highest vineyard "La viña vieja". It is a variety perfectly adapted to the terroir, with low yields, small berries, a... produces great concentration of fruit and a natural ability to retain acidity during ripening."

The result is exceptional wines that have won a long list of awards and recognition. The organic wine Pago Finca Élez Chardonnay E is the outstanding white wine from this producer.

Organic wine profile

• Colour: light with golden reflections
• Nose: intensely scented with fresh apple and citrus fruits
• Mouth: delicate on the palate citrus fruits, tropical fruits, fresh apples and floral aromas. An excellent organic wine with substance and elegance and the best price/quality ratio.
• Drinking recommendation: Serve this wonderfully pure Chardonnay at 10-12° C in a larger glass in which its aromas can develop better.

Organic wine production, Pago Finca Élez, Chardonnay, LIAS É

The Chardonnay grapes come from the La Vieja – Finca Élez – El Bonillo vineyard (Albacete) at an altitude of 1,080 meters above sea level. It doesn't get much higher than that. The soil in this vineyard dates back to the Mesozoic era and is over 66 million years old. It is a soil type with a sandy clay-loam base on a limestone subsoil.
The grape harvest was carried out by hand early in the morning while the temperature was still cool. The harvest amount was less than 7,000 kg per hectare.

Winemaking begins with destemming the grapes and macerating them for 8-9 hours at a temperature of 15°C. They were pressed very gently with a pressure of less than 0.8. A static tapping was then carried out for 36 hours, while it was running
Grape juice releases independently and ferments at a temperature of less than 17° C in French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation is complete, the wine ages on the lees (Lias) for 6 to 7 months. During this time, the wine is regularly stirred with the yeast (called batonnage) to improve its smoothness and gain complexity.
