Escorihuela 1884 Gran Reserva Chardonnay 2022

Gran Reserva wines are born right from the heart of our Agrelo estate. They embody the terroir’s highest expression and the quality, complexity, and elegance of the grapes used to make these wines.

Season 2022 was marked by a lightly warmer summer than 2021, with wide thermal amplitude in the Uco Valley. In autumn, temperatures dropped considerably, with the first frosts on March 30 and 31 hastening the harvest mainly in the Uco Valley. Precipitations concentrated again during February, with annual rainfalls below historical records. This condition led to an exceptional harvest in terms of quality and sanity with a balanced development and ripeness evolution of red wines and extraordinary white wines that stand out for their freshness given their sugar/acidity balance.

Nose: Marked varietal typicity with aromas of lime, pears and pineapple. Presence of some mineral notes in combination with that of linden flower, orange blossom, honey and toasty hints provided by oak aging.

Palate: Buttery yet refreshing mouthfeel. Delicate vanilla, white fruits, and stone fruits flavors. It is balanced and elegant, with good acidity, a long finish, and a fruity aftertaste.
