Limited Time Offer Kaiken 'Ultra' Mendoza Chardonnay 2022 New Release

Kaikenﾡﾯs ﾡﾮUltraﾡﾯ range of wines are a step up in quality from the Clﾨﾢsico and Terroir Series. Grapes for the Ultra Chardonnay are sourced from two different areas in Mendoza. Firstly, from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley, which at 1,400 metres above sea level provides freshness and minerality, and secondly from Vistalba in Lujﾨﾢn de Cuyo, which gives concentration to the blend. At the winery 65% of the juice was fermented in small concrete tanks to preserve freshness and purity of the fruit. The rest of the juice was fermented in new French oak barrels, where it remained for 12 months. The wine finally spent two months in bottle before release. This wine is gold in colour with youthful hues. On the nose, aromas of pineapple, white peach and citrus intertwine with vanilla and a touch of smoke from the oak ageing. The palate is rich and complex with good acidity and a long, lingering finish.
