MALAVIA CHARDONNAY: THE PURITY OF THE COSTA DEL SOL
Chardonnay | Warm-climate expression
Chardonnay transformed by the heat and drought of southern Spain.
Where cooler climates can bring green apple, firm pear and citrus, Malavía shows the grape at full ripeness: concentrated, tropical and intensely expressive.
The story
Chardonnay is a French variety often associated with cool-climate notes of green apple, unripe pear and citrus. In the heat and drought of southern Spain, the same grape tells a completely different story.
Here it develops far greater sugar concentration and a much riper fruit profile. Malavía is a vivid lesson in how climate can transform a familiar grape — and a bottle that tends to surprise from the first taste.
Tasting notes
Concentrated notes of very ripe banana, pineapple and mango define this warm-climate Chardonnay. Ripe, expressive and compelling, with a personality far removed from a cool-climate white.
Pairing
Pairing: Grilled fish, light seafood, Mediterranean rice dishes, or soft cheeses. Its fresh acidity and remarkable purity make it the perfect canvas for the sea’s most subtle and delicate flavors.
