Chardonnay Kozana 2018

The wine is a deeper amber color. The bouquet is more intense, quite unique, intertwined. We find smoke, honey, dried apricots, dried pears, a hint of balsamic notes and more to be found. In the mouth, the wine is very dry, medium-bodied, with nice ripe acids, a little bitter to the touch. It also shows a very unique character in the mouth, as it does not belong to any of the classic Chardonnay styles. With a longer aftertaste that says the wine is in full form at the moment. With character!After the harvest the most was left on maceration with the skins for 4 days (without temperature control, without added yeasts…), with which it extracted from the skins a large amount of additional substances and they ensure that wines will be long-lasting with great natural stability. One visual effect of maceration is also an intensive yellow colour, a little haziness and a possibility of sediments, because our wines are not filtered. During two-year maturation in big oak barrels the wine also did naturally the lactic fermentation (as do all our wines). After the bottling the wine was kept in the cellar for another 3 years, before we estimated that the wine is ready for market.In the cellar we do not change the characters of our wines, which means that we do not filter them, we do not clean them and we do not use any of modern oenological agents and methods, except raking, filling and adding a small quantity of sulphur (which we also write on the label).

The wine is a gentle golden yellow color. The bouquet is moderately pointed, mature. The mouth is dry, medium-bodied, with a nice oily texture, aromas of herbs. fruits, flowers intertwine with each other. In the mouth calm, gentle, soft. Creates a warm harmony with dishes that combine vegetables and cheeses.Very extractive, full, mineral with sophisticated spiciness. The wine has a calming effect, but it lasts and thus confirms its richness and uniqueness. Pinela, which despite its boldness and fullness, retains the perfect elegance of the variety. Undoubtedly, this is the wine of the main courses, special moments that are worth waiting for, because the wine in the glass is growing and growing. Nature proves once again that Pinela can be a masterpiece.

Crystalline golden yellow color with a dense texture that quickly settles in the glass.The bouquet is intense and expresses a rich intertwining of fruitiness with herbs. We perceive yellow apple, quince, ripe pear, and red grapefruit. Gentle hints of vanilla are intertwined with aromas of sage and thyme. The spectrum is rounded off by a pleasant scent of heated marl.The wine is soft and feels warmer. The taste is balanced by minerality and youthful freshness, and we also sense a tannic grip. It is a wine of intensity, elegance, and full body. Its long-lasting aftertaste offers perceptions of quince, citrus, sweet spices, and herbs.A harmonious wine that will display its trump cards as it matures, and above all, freshness and alcohol will keep it alive for a long time.A wine, which can be served with pasta or potato dumplings with creamy sauces, will go well with salmon or sea bass fillet with Provencal potatoes and sauteed young vegetables
