Salvaje 100% Chardonnay

Description

SALVAJE is a distinctive white wine made with 100% Chardonnay, conceived as a distinctive expression with its own identity within the wine landscape of Castilla y León. It is a one of the few single-varietal Chardonnays produced in the regionproduced in the Toro area, and intended to be enjoyed in its vintage, preserving all the varietal expression and natural freshness of the wine.

Its personality is defined by a precise and unconventional winemaking process. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in 500-litre French oak barrels, a format that allows controlled oxygenation and very fine integration of the oak. Afterwards, the wine remains for 3 months in the same barrel, adding richness, volume and character without overshadowing the identity of the Chardonnay. Its red wine bottle, with a wax-sealed closure reinforces its distinctive character.

Visually, it displays straw yellow colour with golden highlights, clean, crystal clear and bright.

On the nose, it reveals a fresh and citrusy, with varietal aromas of apple, pineapple, grapefruit and stone fruit. Its time in oak contributes elegant secondary notes of nuts, gentle spices and balsamic nuances of aromatic herbs such as fennel, perfectly integrated.

On the palate, it stands out for its lively acidity and freshness, balanced by a pleasant richness and vibrant energy. It is a full-bodied and harmonious white wine, with a creamy and elegant finish, in which the delicate toasted notes from the oak re-emerge. A wine intended to be enjoyed young, with structure, balance and character.

When it comes to food pairing, SALVAJE pairs perfectly with grilled white fish, creamy rice dishes, pastas, meats with delicate sauces, cheeses and dishes featuring nuts, showcasing a distinctly food-friendly profile.

SALVAJE is a distinctive, fresh and characterful Chardonnay that demonstrates how precise oak ageing can add character and complexity without compromising varietal expression.
