Details

The wine Chivite Colección 125 Blanco is a remarkable Spanish white wine produced in the DO Navarra.

A single varietal Chardonnay produced by Julián Chivite, it is made from a careful selection of the very best vines from Finca Lagardeta.

After a meticulous harvest, the grapes were cold-macerated for 6 to 8 hours, and subsequently crushed with a pneumatic press.

Then the wine must was fermented in French oak barrels. After that, Chivite Colección 125 Blanco 2016 was aged for 11 months on its lees with periodic stirrings.

This remarkable white wine from Navarra was aged for a further months in the bottle before its commercial release.
