Hope Chardonnay 2023

Hope Chardonnay Dry White Wine 2023 is a dry white wine made from 100% Chardonnay by DULAAN Winery, from the Ningxia region, in the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains.

The grapes come from a plot located in the Jinshan area, on gravel and river stone soils of the alluvial fans at the foothills of the Helan Mountains, at an altitude of between 1,120 and 1,150 meters. The vineyard is currently in the process of converting to organic farming.

Harvesting is done manually during the early morning hours, taking advantage of the low temperatures. After manual selection, the grapes are quickly pressed to minimize oxidation and preserve aromatic freshness.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, aiming to preserve the floral and fruity aromas characteristic of the variety. A portion of the wine has brief contact with wood, while the rest matures in stainless steel tanks.

In the glass, it stands out for its floral aromas and notes of pineapple and melon, accompanied by a distinct mineral expression. On the palate, it presents a fresh and round profile, with a long and refreshing finish.

With an approximate production of 10,000 bottles, it is a versatile Chardonnay designed for various consumption occasions, especially paired with seafood, fish, and light dishes.
