2024 El Camino de Las Flores Chardonnay

Launching in September at La Place de Bordeaux, the 2024 Chardonnay Finca Las Cerrilladas El Camino De Las Flores is a new white wine that's outstanding right out of the gate. From a vineyard at 4,462 feet in Gualtallary Monasterio, it shows its cool, calcareous provenance and terroir, or airroir, of native vegetation, chalky in texture with a sound sense of place. The vintage is considered high quality and that’s true here, light to medium-bodied in weight and showcasing plenty of vervy freshness and an energetic sense of balance, dazzling in nectarine, green apple, and white flowers. Fermented with native yeasts in concrete, it saw no oak or malolactic fermentation. There's tremendous structure here, with a potential aging window of 15-18 years. What an incredible wine. (09/2025)
