But finding the right balance is a craft, and that's certainly the case with this Casa Silva Chardonnay Angostura Gran Terroir.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The vinification of Chardonnay Angostura Gran Terroir\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The designation \"Gran Terroir de Los Andes\" was given to the vineyards because they receive all the positive influences of the Andes mountains. The grapes receive plenty of warmth from the sunny afternoons, but also coolness from the wind that blows across the mountain. Casa Silva quickly recognized this and planted beautiful vineyards here over 40 years ago, and you can taste it in this wine. The Angostura vineyard is located where the old bodega used to be; it has since been moved to a modern location, but the old vines are still there, and thankfully so.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are all harvested and sorted entirely by hand. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are immediately cooled to 5 degrees Celsius, after which the whole bunches are pressed directly, without contact with the skins. Fermentation takes three weeks at 15 degrees Celsius. Thirty percent of the wine then spends another six months in French oak barriques, the rest in stainless steel. This results in a beautiful, modern, and above all, fruity Chardonnay.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wood aging for the Chardonnay Angostura Gran Terroir\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nBecause the wine is already so full-bodied, further oak aging is unnecessary, as the winemaker believes that would detract from the refinement of the palate. The wine's color is already promising, golden yellow with green hues. Tropical fruit dominates the aroma, with a delicate hint of artichoke. The palate is buttery with fresh white peaches, apricots, and mango, but also characteristically honeyed notes, and an excellent finish with a light citrus note. The Casa Silva Gran Terroir Chardonnay pairs well with grilled fish, crab, lobster, prawns, langoustines, roast chicken, and spicy pastas. It also pairs well with hard cheeses.","brand":"LFE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775798808655,"sku":"10881","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/Angostura-Chardonnay.webp?v=1758538898"},{"product_id":"casa-silva-chardonnay","title":"Casa Silva Chardonnay","description":"The Casa Silva Chardonnay is a celebration of the Chardonnay grape in its most authentic form.
