<br /><br />The name 'Caliz' is derived from the Latin terms Calix (calyx) and Calx (limestone). The Chardonnay Caliz grows exclusively on light gravel soils with a high dolomite-lime<br />content.<br /><br />The yield has been reduced to 70 hl per hectare of vineyard. The delicate bouquet is reminiscent of ripe pineapple, baby bananas and lime peel. The characteristic<br />Mediterranean fruitiness is complemented by a taut acidity structure from selected Chardonnay lots from higher altitude vineyards. The wine gains in complexity and<br />consistency through longer ageing on the fine lees in large wooden barrels. The large day/night temperature differences give the wine additional spice, and the finish of the<br />Caliz is salty and long.<br /><br />Grape variety: Chardonnay<br />Production zone: 250-500 m a.s.l., south-east, clay-sand and gravel soils, rich in dolomite<br />Vinification: Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel followed by ageing on the fine lees in large oak barrels.<br />Alcohol: 13 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 6,0 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 2,5 g/l<br />Yield per hectare: 70 hl<br />Optimum drinking maturity: 1-4 years<br />Method of cultivation: sustainable<br />Bottle size: 0,75 l<br />
