Sole Chardonnay by Recas comes from carefully selected grapes from the plots with main South exposure. The sun is the main ingredient of this wine, giving it strength and character. Since it is a top product, it is granted an additional attention to all aspects of limiting and optimised production. Fermentation is partially done in new French oak barrels. They are stirred by hand after fermentation to keep the yeast in the wine in suspension and to allow obtaining an increased density of the wine. This process is known as batonage and is performed three times a week until achieving the desired balance.
Tasting notes: Golden yellow, clear and crystalline. Olfactory, very refined with a complex balance of flavours: tangerine, peach, lime honey, apricot, almond butter, vanilla and cinnamon. A full-bodied wine, with intense aromas and a long finish marked by notes of sweet spices. For the Recas Chardonnay, 2023 was a year of the balance, which culminated with an extra invigorating acidity present in the post
taste. Sole Chardonnay will maintain its complexity over time and can be aged up to 10 - 12 years.
