The 2024 Chardonnay Fósil from San Pablo was aged for 10 months in concrete. Lightly golden in hue, it delivers aromas of green apple, chamomile, huacatay, herbs and a faint pastry nuance. This is lean yet vibrant, with pure white fruit and elevated freshness. The 2024 offers a supple, saline mouthfeel and chalky texture supported by lees contact. Still in its primary phase, this promises further development.
Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.
