Blanco Chileno - 2022 - Louis Antoine Luyt

A blend of 95% Gamay Blanc (which is actually an old massal selection of Chardonnay) and 5% Gordo Blanco (=Moscatel), from organically farmed, dry-farmed vines. The two parcels cover three hectares on sandy soils with decomposed granite, located in the Maule region. Hand-harvested. Vinification: direct pressing and six months of aging in vats for the Chardonnay, while the Moscatel is destemmed and macerated for two weeks. Blended before bottling in France, unfined, unfiltered, with just a micro-dose of sulfur.
