Tilia Chardonnay (75cl, 13.5%)

A certified organic Chardonnay from Mendoza, Argentina, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a standard 750ml format. Tilia sources 100% organic Chardonnay from vineyards across Central Mendoza, including Rivadavia, Agrelo, Junín and Maipú, at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 feet above sea level. The wine is fermented for three months in stainless steel tanks, then aged for three months in French and American oak barrels with 10% new oak. Only about 20% undergoes malolactic fermentation. The nose shows white flowers, tropical fruit, pineapple, banana, ripe peach and mineral hints. The palate is fresh and fruit-forward, with sweet tropical fruit, peach, crème brûlée, toasted bread, lemon curd and green apple, leading to a long finish with crisp acidity and a mineral undertone.
