Gran Vina Sol was a pioneer in the production of cask fermented Chardonnay in Spain. Its name is very apt as it's a wine of greater complexity and presence than the traditional Vina Sol. Chardonnay and Parellada are harmoniously blended after careful fermentation of a percentage in Limousin oak barrels, thus retaining the character of each variety. The result is a magnificent, intense wine. Thanks to the presence of the Chardonnay, the wine is intensely aromatic and full bodied, with a profusion of flowery notes over a fruity background very ripe peaches and a hint of fennel. On the palate the wine has a long aftertaste and is silky with an elegant fullness. A touch of vanilla in the finish is indicative of the wine's short ageing in French oak. A wonderful accompaniment to fromage frais, salt and freshwater fish, seafood particularly good with seafood paella, even chicken and turkey.
