This lovely chardonnay comes from the rocky soil of the uco valley at an elevation of 1200 meters. This is the perfect combination of minerals for the soil and the warm day/cool night scenario that produces a chardonnay of this beautiful character. lush fruit notes of pear and apple lead to a round feel in the mouth and the perfect amount of mineral in the finish to complete the wine. This wine sees oak barrels for only one month to add texture and roundness, but keep the clean fruit and mineral expression of the wine.

"The Parados 2008 Chardonnay is palate straw in color and offers attractive citrus aromas. The palate boasts citrus and apple fruit flavors with some wet stone nuances. The finish is pleasant and moderate in intensity."
