Norte Sur Chardonnay

Region
The high altitude, great plain of La Mancha, to the south of Madrid and east of
Toledo, represents the largest viticultural area of Spain. The climate is arid, extreme
in both summer and winter, tempered by strong prevailing winds. The widely planted
white Arien grape variety is slowly losing favour to Tempranillo, Shiraz and Garnacha
and the old wineries are giving way to gleaming modern facilities heralding a
revolution for the region`s winemaking.
Producer
Dominio de Punctum is situated in the town of Las Pedroneras at the north end of La
Mancha. It was founded in 2005 and run by the Fernandez family, the estate
currently includes over 150 hectares of vineyards. The winery is located adjacent to
the vineyards allowing to keep the maximum quality in the production of the whites,
reds, young and aged wines. Since the beginning they have focused on organic and
biodynamic production.
Tasting Notes
This organic Chardonnay from Dominio de Punctum is a light gold in colour. Tropical
aromas of mango and pineapple fill the nose. The palate is soft with flavours of
apple, peach and mango. Full and round in the mouth with a refreshing streak of
acidity, and tropical fruits lingering on the palate.
Food
This wine works perfectly with
fish dishes, molluscs and shellfish. Try it with crab with a
creamy sauce
