Region
The great plain of La Mancha, to the south of Madrid and east of Toledo, represents the largest viticultural area of Spain. The climate is arid, extreme in both summer and winter, tempered by strong prevailing winds.
The widely planted white Arien grape variety is slowly losing favour to Tempranillo, Shiraz and Garnacha and the old wineries are giving way to gleaming modern facilities heralding a revolution for the region`s winemaking.
Producer
Dominio de Punctum is situated in the town of Las Pedroneras at the north end of La Mancha. It was founded in 2005 and run by the Fernandez family, the estate currently includes over 150 hectares of vineyards. The winery is located adjacent to the vineyards allowing to keep the maximum quality in the production of the whites, reds, young and aged wines. Since the beginning they have focused on organic and biodynamic production.
Tasting Notes
This organic Chardonnay from Dominio de Punctum is a light gold in colour. Tropical aromas of mango and pineapple fill the nose. The palate is soft with flavours of apple, peach and mango. Full and round in the mouth with a refreshing streak of acidity, and tropical fruits lingering on the palate.
Food
This wine works perfectly with
fish dishes, molluscs and shellfish. Try it with crab with a
creamy sauce.
