The Enrique Mendoza Chardonnay White Wine from Bodegas Enrique Mendoza, presents this white wine from the D.O. Alicante. Alicante, created from the 100% Chardonnay grape varieties and coming from the Finca El Chaconero, in the place called "Cabezo de la Virgen" in Villena.
Making: The grapes are macerated for 3 hours to be fermented at a very low temperature (15°C). The wine remains in contact with its yeasts and lees until bottling.
Recommended serving temperature: 8-10ºC
Finca El Chaconero
The Finca El Chaconero is located in the hamlet of Las Virtudes, next to the Virgen de las Virtudes Sanctuary, west of Villena; called by the oldest locals "Las Quebradas" due to its edaphology, the subsoil strata are not horizontal but oblique, with the result being a large number of small-sized plots with totally different soils. In the same estate we can find gravel, sandy-loamy and totally sandy soils.
D.O. Alicante
D.O. Alicante. AlicanteIn the province of Alicante the influence of the Mediterranean Sea is very characteristic, whose sea breezes circulate through the mountainous corridors that have created the Carrascal de la Font Roja Natural Park and the Sierra del Maigmó Protected Landscape, which provide greater freshness to the leaf surface.
In the province there are two areas with very different climates and soils: The Mediterranean coast, whose sea breezes exert a great influence on the vineyards of coastal municipalities. And another inland area in the Alto Vinalopó region, with altitudes of more than 600 metres above sea level, where sea breezes also have a strong influence through the natural mountain corridors. In this area of Alicante pre-plateau we find adult vineyards in soils with high presence of limestone, crust, stones and sands.
