Introduction:
The 2025 Santa Julia Family Organic Chardonnay is a fresh, vibrant white wine that highlights fruit purity and balance through organic farming practices. Crafted from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, this unoaked Chardonnay offers crisp acidity, orchard and tropical fruit character, and a clean, mineral finish — a great everyday white with a conscience.
Terrior:
Sourced from certified organic vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina, at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. The region’s high elevation, sun-drenched days, and cool nights support slow ripening and excellent acid retention. The soils — a mix of clay, sand, and gravel — provide good drainage and contribute a subtle mineral edge to the fruit-forward profile. Santa Julia is known for pioneering organic viticulture in Argentina and expressing terroir through sustainable winemaking.
Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with greenish highlights. Bright clarity and a light hue reflect the wine’s freshness and youthful energy.
Nose:
Clean and aromatic, the nose presents green apple, pear, and lemon zest alongside subtle tropical notes of pineapple and banana. Hints of citrus blossom and wet stone add freshness and finesse.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a smooth texture. Flavors of fresh apple, lime, and white peach dominate, supported by gentle tropical tones. The wine’s unoaked style keeps the palate focused and refreshing, ideal for casual drinking or pairing with lighter fare.
Finish:
Dry, clean, and brisk with lingering citrus and a touch of minerality. The finish is refreshing and palate-cleansing, encouraging another sip.
Recommended Food Pairings:
Meat Dish: Grilled lemon herb chicken or seared white fish with capers and olive oil.
Vegetarian Option: Asparagus risotto, zucchini fritters with yogurt sauce, or a citrus-dressed quinoa salad.
Cheese / Charcuterie Pairing: Fresh mozzarella, young goat cheese, marinated artichokes, or olive tapenade.
