Castano Coleccion Chardonnay Barrica

With the name “La Caprichosa” we wanted to pay tribute to our most special vineyard, with a gravelly and low fertility soil, bush vine growing system and with more than thirty years old. The four-month aging on less has played a very important role in its careful elaboration, which allows us to achieve a wine of greater character, body and unctuousness. Bright straw yellow colour, with green glints. Intense and complex aroma, with notes of ripe white fruit and mineral hints. Fresh and generous in mouth, with volume, mild and lingering.

STORY BEHIND THIS WINE The Montrubí estate, which is located in the Penedès region of Catalonia, was founded in 1984 by the Peris family. Their vision was to craft unique terroir wines using local grape varieties such as Xarel-lo, Sumoll and Garnacha while subscribing to an organic winemaking philosophy. The bodega and vineyards are situated in an area over 2,000 feet above sea level just 60 kilometres west of Barcelona. MontRubí was named in honour of the 19th century property in L’Avellà town that the Peris family refurbished to house the winery. The philosophy at MontRubí is one of traditional viticulture; sustainable and environmentally friendly, albeit with a simultaneous commitment to innovation.
