Consigna Chardonnay

The Consigna Chardonnay, meticulously crafted by Félix Solís, beautifully reflects the rich terroirs of Castilla-La Mancha. This region, known for its extreme temperatures and an altitude of 700 meters above sea level, offers perfect conditions for growing Chardonnay grapes. The soils, rich in limestone and clay, and the limited rainfall contribute to the development of grapes with intense flavor. Félix Solís, a leading family winery founded in 1952, fully utilizes these elements to produce a Chardonnay that embodies both the tradition and innovation of Spanish winemaking.

Vinification: Attention to Detail

The careful vinification of the Consigna Chardonnay begins with a six-hour maceration on the skins, essential for extracting maximum flavors. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 14 to 16 degrees Celsius for 12-15 days. This process, followed by a short aging on lees, results in a wine that retains its fruity character while adding an extra layer of creaminess. These methods reflect Félix Solís's dedication to creating wines that are both expressive and elegant.

Tasting Notes: A Palette of Freshness

Visually, the Consigna Chardonnay seduces with its pale yellow color and golden glow, a harbinger of the richness to come. The bouquet opens with vibrant aromas of apple, peach, pineapple, and pear, filling the nose with a promise of freshness. On the palate, the wine is soft and balanced, with a fruity essence enhanced by a subtle, buttery note. This flavor composition makes the Consigna Chardonnay a wine of refinement and accessibility, perfect for any occasion.

Culinary Combinations

The versatility of the Consigna Chardonnay makes it the ideal companion for a wide variety of dishes. It's particularly recommended with pasta in a creamy cheese sauce, where the richness of the wine blends beautifully with the softness of the cheese. It's also an excellent choice with seafood and fresh cheeses, creating a harmonious interplay of flavors. The Consigna Chardonnay, a superb offering from Félix Solís, offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a top wine from Castilla-La Mancha, a true ode to the art of winemaking.
