WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Tesoro Chardonnay is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes from Mendoza. After pressing, the must is chilled to 10 degrees Celsius before undergoing fermentation for 28 days at 15-17 degrees Celsius in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. A portion of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation to enhance creaminess. The wine is subsequently aged for nine months in oak barrels, with some sources suggesting up to 12 months, contributing to its complexity and texture.
