BODEGAS VALCARLOS

Fortius Fermentado en Barrica Chardonnay 2021

Trust your Taste

Banana, ripe pineapple and pear meet sweet oak notes in this barrel-fermented Chardonnay. Full and velvety, it finishes with balancing freshness and a small savoury-bitter edge. Try it if you enjoy rich whites with generous fruit and oak.

How this wine feels

This feels full and smoothly rounded, with very little grip. Ripe fruit and oak fill the middle, while freshness and a small bitter edge give the finish definition.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
