KOSARA CHARDONNAY PIREV

Grapes dominantly define the style of a wine. For KOSARA Chardonnay, we process well-ripened and selected Chardonnay from two iconic micro districts: Novi Pazar and Veliki Preslav. They are only 40 km apart but carry a strong complementary identity. The light limestone soils and cooler microclimate in Novi Pazar bring freshness and finesse, while the maturity of Preslav gives density and character. After the fine and soft pressing, there is a long slow fermentation for 4 weeks and a subsequent malo-lactic fermentation for softening and volume. The contact with French oak is very delicate in order to preserve the terroir of the wine.
