Tasting note
Ruby red color with intense violet hues. Fruity nose, with a predominance of red fruit (raspberry, strawberry), caramelized apple notes, very direct and seductive.
Lovely first attack, with an elegant palate, good body, and a refreshing and balanced acidity.
Viticulture
Established in 1647, Chivite's legacy, led by Julian Chivite, flourishes. Legardeta, with its unique microclimate, balances cool north slopes for Chardonnay and sun-drenched south slopes for red grapes. Embracing low yields, minimal chemicals, and biodiversity, it produces not just exceptional wines but Spain's finest white, Chivite Coleccion 125 Chardonnay.
Vinification
After a brief cold maceration, the wine ferments at a controlled temperature, undergoing gentle manual pigeage. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels where it remains for 10 months in French oak barrels.
Food Match
An interesting and delicious pairing with roast pork with vegetables, mushroom risotto or chorizo pasta.
