The taste is harmonious, with a fresh attack, a beautiful structure, and a fine balance between acidity and ripe notes. The wine has a relatively light alcohol influence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine has a delicate style, partly due to the soils formed during the eruption of two nearby volcanoes. The color is golden yellow. In short: a refined, mineral Chardonnay with good aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine \u0026amp; Food \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolcanes Tectonia Chardonnay \u003c\/strong\u003eis an ultimate food wine and goes well with \u003cspan style=\"font-family: muli,sans-serif\"\u003esalmon tartare, lobster, fresh shellfish, ripe cheeses, pasta with cream sauce, white meat, poultry, crab, risotto, salmon and sea bass. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe soils of Malleco Valley were formed during (relatively recent) volcanic eruptions and thus consist of effusive lava and especially volcanic ash. This Volcanes Tectonia Chardonnay has matured for 11 months in barrels of 10% new, 40% 1-year-old, and 50% 2-year-old French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBodega Volcanes is a project that started in 2009 and is part of the Grupo Vinos del Pacifico (GVP). Several employees of this group came up with the idea to create a series of wines from vineyards with 100% volcanic soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe five-person team includes winemaker María del Pilar Díaz, geologist Gonzalo Hendriguez, and Terroir manager Agustín Aguerrea. They have selected three vineyards, spread throughout Chile, which they believe convey the ultimate expression of volcanic soil to the wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Rapel Valley, this is a vineyard with silt, clay, and loam soils supplemented with coarser material such as Andesite stones (an effusive rock). In Maule Valley, they have found a vineyard with a soil of (weathered) granite. In Malleco Valley, the vineyard is planted on a soil of so-called \"Tolhuaco,\" which consists of volcanic ash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaría Díaz strives to express the purity and minerality of the soils in the wines. This is very successful, especially since fermentation and maturation never involve excessive use of (new) wood. The wines are all lively and rich and have more complexity in aroma and taste than comparable wines from the same region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/distinctions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Volcanes Tectonia Chardonnay is one of the finest Chilean Chardonnays and has rightly received 91\/100 points from James Suckling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"Volcanes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944348553541,"sku":"P29208","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/36371b0c4daeea428fa50d40f9b09b4957eeb1d5.jpg?v=1787299602","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/volcanes-tectonia-chardonnay","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
