Torres Milmanda Chardonnay 2017

Conca de Barbera, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainFrom deep, silty calcareous clays of the Conca de Barberà, this was fermented in 300L French barrels (50% new) followed by a partial MLF. The wine then aged for 6 months in barrel, followed by a 10 month tightening stint in stainless with periodic bâtonnage. White honey, lemon blossoms, is tightened with crystalline lemon and slicked with herbal lees. There's a lovely light phenolic grip to the sides, finishing with moreish lemon verbena note on a lengthy finish. This has certainly moved the needle consistently tighter and fresher over the years.Tasted: 08 December 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
