Description
How We Crafted It
Chardonnay at Vin d’Almar is gently whole-bunch pressed in a traditional basket press to capture delicate aromatics and preserve purity of fruit. Fermentation unfolds naturally, guided by wild yeasts that bring nuance and authenticity. The young wine is then left on its fine lees throughout the winter months, building a supple texture, layered complexity, and a graceful finish that speaks of both patience and place.
Pairing Notes
- Seafood — from delicate shellfish to grilled line fish, the wine’s freshness elevates the ocean’s natural sweetness.
- Pasta — creamy or herb-driven sauces highlight the Chardonnay’s supple texture and gentle oak character.
- Spicy dishes — the wine’s poise and acidity provide balance to aromatic spices and heat.
