Jean Leon 'Vinya Gigi' Chardonnay

RM189.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
One of Spain’s Chardonnay pioneers, Vinya Gigi was the first to undergo barrel fermentation. The wine originates in a small, exceptional 5-hectare vineyard planted in 1967. Jean Leon named the vineyard – and the wine it produces – after his daughter. The wine spends 6 months lees aging in French oak + 6 months bottle aging. Very intense nose with remarkable buttery notes perfectly balanced by tropical fruit and a hint of toast and spices. Fresh upon entry, giving way to a long evolution across the palate and lively acidity on the finish. Offers intense primary aromas of fresh tropical fruit and peach. Intermingled with the fruit are delicate notes of French oak. The palate entry is voluptuous, and the balanced acidity makes for a fresh, persistent wine.
