Near Valencia, in the Costers del Segre wine region, the Chardonnay grapes for this organic wine are grown. The renowned Codorniu winery carefully cultivates the grapes here. While this winery is primarily known for its sparkling wines, this is a still wine, for a change. It's of very high quality. It's a fruity, tropical, and deliciously juicy wine.
The perfect conditions for Codorniu wines
The Codorniu winery is an innovative winery that has been producing high-quality wines for centuries. Despite this, the winery maintains its traditions and has always remained a true family business. In 1872, the first sparkling wine was released. A special moment that marked the beginning of a wide range of cava wines. Despite these classics, they also offer a range of still wines, of which this Chardonnay Organic Wine is a prime example.
Costers del Segre offers a favorable environment for various grape varieties, with a climate ranging from Mediterranean to continental. This diversity in climatic conditions results in a rich variety of wine styles, ranging from robust reds to refreshing whites. Moreover, the region's terroir is diverse, with soil types ranging from limestone to loam and sand, giving the wines unique and distinctive characteristics. At Codorniu, the Cardonnay grapes are typically harvested early, giving the wine its wonderful acidity. However, for this still wine, the grapes are left on the vineyard a little longer. This allows them to ripen even further and develop even more beautiful characteristics. The vineyard is completely organic and works with great respect for nature.
The fruity notes of the Codorniu Chardonnay Organic Wine
The result is an intensely aromatic wine with delicious notes of fruit and citrus. The palate is round and pleasantly textured. This Chardonnay has such a fantastic structure. It's deliciously full-bodied with perfect, well-balanced acidity. The fruity notes of pineapple, mango, and papaya are clearly evident. This organic Chardonnay pairs perfectly with light dishes like a salad or fish dish.
