Enrique Mendoza Fermented Chardonnay is made from 100% Chardonnay. Maceration for 3 hours and fermentation at a low temperature (16ºC) in new French oak allier barrels. The rest remains with its lees and yeasts until April.
Tasting notes: Straw yellow colour with golden shades. Nose: aromas coming from the chardonnay variety with smoky hints from the fermentation process in the barrel. Good balance and good concentration in acidity. Long aftertaste.
Pairing: Fish Stew, Omelets, Pasta, Soups and Creams.
This winery was born thanks to the passion for wine. And this passion has never stopped growing. The project was forged at the end of the 70's, when Enrique Mendoza became extremly interested in world of wine and decided to continue the tradition in 'La Marina Baixa' of making wine for family... consumption. Today, the first plants have transformed into two wineries, one for the ageing and bottling of the wine in Alfaz del Pi, from which the wines are positioned in the national and international markets, and a second one in Villena ('Finca El Chaconero'), close to the 'Virgen de las Virtudes' sanctuary.
