Blazic Chardonnay
About the Producer:
Blazic Wine Estate was founded in 1923, and it is a family-run winery located in the heart of the hills of Cormòns, in Zegla. Its location, the Collio Hills, lies halfway between the Adriatic Sea and the Julian Alps. Cutting-edge techniques and strict respect for the environment make all the magic of fruit aromas and flavors, and the original nature of the vineyards of Zegla and Via Delle Vigne give their best to the Blazic family wines. The climate is mild with temperatures moderated by the sea and protected from winds and storms by the mountains. Soil mainly consisting of stratified Eocene marl and sandstone, is the cradle upon which the Blazic Family tend to their vines with expertise and passion.
About the Wine:
Vines are grown on Marl and sandstone soil, cultivated using the guyot training system. Manually harvested in the second quarter of September. Vinification starts with 6 hours maceration on the skins at controlled temperature, aged 1 year in 500L French oak barrels and 6 months in steel tanks.
Organoleptic Notes:
Gold yellow color with a pleasant and broad bouquet. Flavors of exotic fruits, peach and apricots, butter and vanilla nuances. Its taste is rich, mineral, intense, velvety, with pleasant smoothness and great freshness.
Pairing: Fish and crustaceans, fresh and mild seasoned cheese, white meat.
