Our Estate Vineyards

Doña Paula Estate Chardonnay is grown on a bed of stones and limestone, at the confluence of the dry streams that cross Aluvia Vineyard, in Gualtallary, Valle de Uco, at 1,350 meters (4,430 feet) above sea level. This area has warm days and cool nights, with an average temperature variation of 12.5 °C (54.5°F) and an average annual rainfall of 280 mm (11 in). The vines, wich are trained in espaliers, yield 10 tons per hectare. At Doña Paula, our vineyards have always been managed using sustainable agricultural practices.

Vinification

Fermentation takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, and 30% of the must completes its fermentation in first- and second-use French oak barrels, where it is aged for 9 months.

Food Pairing

Pork shoulder blade with cider and ginger, caramelized onions, and zucchini and corn rolls. Just like the wine, this is a fresh and rich dish, where the pork, the cider, the vegetables and the caramelized onions as a whole provide sweet and caramel notes.
