Note di degustazione
This was really showing well, even though it has only just been released. It’s tight, full of energy, with a punch of minerality, bright taut citrus and crisp green apple. It’s lean and sleek, but with a fleshy, juiciness that makes it hard to resist now. A wine that’s singing. Aged for eight months in 15% new oak. Production: 7,254 bottles

Fresh, vivid, primary nose of citrus and pineapple, with lovely brightness. The palate is lively and energetic with fresh citrus fruit, showing keen acidity and a mineral twist at the end, with a hint of sour cherry and pineapple.
Compared with the super austere 2021, the 2022 Vino de Viñedo Los Parientes Chardonnay feels a little rounder and juicier. It had a shorter élevage in barrel to keep the freshness. The alcohol is still a low 12%, and there's a very low pH of 2.99, but the wine has a different aromatic profile with some dry hay, pollen and beeswax. It has freshness and tension and citrus notes in the palate, as it's still very dry and has a chalky finish. The frost decimated the crop, as frost affected Chardonnay more than Pinot Noir, and they only did 7,254 bottles. It was bottled in November 2022.
The 2022 Chardonnay Viñedo Los Parientes was fermented in used barrels with native yeast where it remained right through the winter. Yellowy green in the glass. The austere nose offers gentle apple, herb, and lime notes with a whiff of acacia. The palate is concentrated with firm acidity before the delicate, creamy, long-lasting finish.
