ALAMOS EXTRA BRUT NV

This is a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, of specially selected clones for sparkling wine production offers a great value, new world sparking wine. Made by the tank method, it doesn't have the complexity or structure of a great Champagne, but for this price, who cares?

VINEYARD
The grapes were sourced from Catena's vineyards in Tupungato, planted at 5000' elevation.

The Chardonnay base wine offers intense aromatics and good length. The Pinot Noir counterpart ensures a good acid balance adding structure and complexity to the final blend.

GRAPE VARIETIES
50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir

VINIFICATION
The grapes were harvested in February before being fermented with selected yeast at a maximum temperature of 16oC for 30 days. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation.

The second fermentation of this wine used the Charmat or tank method, where the wine is re-fermented under pressure in a tank and then left to rest on its lees before bottling to gain complexity.

TASTING NOTE
The wine has a delicate mousse of tiny, persistent bubbles, packed with citrus, white flowers and freshly baked bread aromatics. The body is rich, with exceptional structure and a fresh lengthy finish.

CLOSURE: Cork

ALCOHOL: 13.5% (10.1 units of alcohol)
