Can Bas La Romana Chardonnay Xarel-Lo is a special wine with an interesting provenance and a careful vinification process. This wine combines the characteristics of the Chardonnay and Xarel-Lo grapes, which grow on limestone soil in the La Romana vineyards of the Can Bas estate. The vineyards where the grapes are grown are located on limestone soil. This soil is ideal for the Xarel-Lo grape and contributes to the specific characteristics of the wine.
The grapes are harvested entirely by hand at peak ripeness, ensuring that only the finest grapes are used in the winemaking process. Ninety percent of the wine is then aged for six months in French oak barrels. These barrels add complexity and texture to the wine, while also imparting subtle vanilla and toasted aromas. A unique aspect of this wine's process is that 10 percent of it is aged in amphorae for six months. Amphoras are traditional earthenware vessels used for centuries to store and age wine. The use of amphorae can add another dimension to the wine and contribute to the development of specific aromas and flavors.
