Mosqueteros Gran Reserva Chardonnay 2024

VINIFICATION AND AGING
Harvesting is done by hand early in the morning. Cluster selection is
done by hand in line by loading the pneumatic press. Pressing is done
with whole clusters to give greater complexity to the resulting juice. The
must is selected and then the solids are cold decanted (24 hr at 10°C).
Selected yeast was used to carry out the fermentation, which lasted 2
weeks. 100% of the blend was fermented in stainless steel tanks and
55% was transferred to oak barrels at one third of the fermentation to
nish the process. Fermentation temperatures were between 17°C (tank)
and 21°C (barrel). Malolactic fermentation was carried out partially and
only at a percentage of the total volume. Fifty-ve percent of the blend
fermented and remained in 300 L second-use French oak barrels. The
remaining 45% was kept in stainless steel tanks. Both containers were left
on the lees for 6 months in order to enhance the wine’s texture. Prior to
bottling, the components were blended, stabilized and then only a
coarse ltration was carried out in line during bottling. The vinication
and aging of this Chardonnay was carried out with attention to detail,
seeking to achieve the best expression of its place of origin.
