"Quercus" Chardonnay 2022

Chardonnay Quercus is one of the good wines offered by the Slovenian winery Klet Brda. We are talking about a reality very similar to our Friuli, where the white wines, in particular, are characterised by a beautiful finesse and elegance. This is due to a sub-Mediterranean climate, created by the encounter/clash of warm influences from the sea, not far away, and cold currents from the Alps. Here, the Chardonnay seems to be particularly at ease, reaching full maturity without losing its freshness and acquiring all its typical aromas. Harvested exclusively by hand, the grapes are brought to the cellar to be processed within a few hours. The entire process takes place in steel, to best preserve the fresh and fragrant aromas of the initial fruit. In the glass, it has a beautiful straw yellow colour. On the nose, it is surprising for the richness of its aromatic range, which plays on notes of fresh fruit: from apple to melon, from peach to pineapple. The correspondence on the palate is almost perfect. Fresh and well balanced, this Slovenian white easily accompanies a wide range of dishes. Excellent with schnitzel and tasty fish dishes. Good today, it is a wine that can still improve. Well stored, cool and dark, it can continue to evolve for three or four years. But there is no need to wait. Let's uncork it at the next dinner with friends. We will certainly be delighted.
