Alpasión Grand Chardonnay

Alpasión Grand Chardonnay white wine from Alpasión

This lovely Chardonnay is the only white wine of our “Grand” line

This wine has only undergone a partial malolactic fermentation, which results in a clean and bright expression of the Chardonnay grape. Notes of green apple, pineapple, lemon curd are backed by a crushed sea shell minerality.

12 months in French oak barrels lends notes of toasted oak and baking spice.
