Aromas Green apples, pineapples, starfruit, and a touch of vanilla

Mouthfeel bright, linear, smooth but with astonishing acidity.

Tasting Notes This is the only Chardonnay in Mexico aged in a concrete egg, and after experiencing the results, it’s easy to see why this approach may soon find wider adoption. The 2025 vintage marks the inaugural release of this method, and its success all but ensures it will become a defining element of the wine’s future. Seamlessly balancing texture, precision, and ripe fruit, this Chardonnay offers a compelling expression of purity and finesse. Oak plays a subtle role during fermentation rather than aging, imparting no overt woody character to the nose or palate—only a gentle, rounded mouthfeel. A striking and forward-looking Chardonnay, it is poised to captivate and redefine expectations.

Selling Point crisp chardonnay, small production, organically farmed

The Story

The only Chardonnay that is fermented in barrel and aged in concrete eggs, this wine is not only unique but delicious. Maintaining some of the softer elements on the nose from the cask ferment, it is racy green apple strikingly clean fruit on the palate. A fantastic discovery for those who are already in love with Chardonnay as well as those who think they aren't!
