Chardonnay "White" - Genoels-Elderen - Belgian White wine - 2018

The Chardonnay White of the castle Genoels-Elderen is a white wine of the largest wine estate in Belgium with a vineyard of 25 hectares, along the old Roman roads of the municipality of Riemst is located.

The 2000-year-old traditions of the Romans have remained intact, allowing the castle to offer a dry white wine made from 100% Chardonnay . After a first pressing and a cold reflection, the vinification was done with 50% wooden barrels. The fermentation lasted a month at a temperature of 22 degrees in ordinary barrels (50%) and in wooden barrels (50%).

The aging takes place in stainless steel tanks for a total duration of 18 months.

A pale yellow wine with a green tint. In the nose floral aromas with impressions of young stone fruit. Very refreshing on the palate with nice acidity at the end.

An ideal aperitif or as a wine on the terrace, during receptions and the accompaniment for light starters, shrimp and asparagus par excellence.
