About this wine
Finca Legardeta Chardonnay is a single-vineyard white sourced from the Legardeta Estate, located between the Pyrenees foothills and the Ebro Basin — one of Navarra's most prized sites for viticulture thanks to its limestone soils and elevation. Partially fermented in French oak barrels and matured around five months on fine lees, it offers riper fruit character with a fresher, more everyday-drinking style than Colección 125 Chardonnay.
An approachable, everyday introduction to Navarra Chardonnay — fruitier and lighter on oak than Colección 125.
