'C' Blanc du Castel is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The grapes are handpicked. The must is fermented in French oak barrels and aged sur lie with frequent batonnage, for nearly ten months. The aroma is fruity with a hint of flint and roasted almonds.
The palate is complex and well-rounded, with yellow tropical fruit and citrus. The wine is very well balanced with a mouth coating flavor.
It is at its peak about four years after harvest.
Serving temperature / 12-14° C
Growth process / We ferment and grow the wine sur lie in the barrels (1/3 new), for 10 months. Using several types of yeast adds to the wine complexity. During the first months of growing in the barrels, we do batonnage and after 10 months from the beginning of the process, we blend and prepare for bottling.
The wine has aging qualities and it continues to grow in the bottle.
