Castell Chardonnay - Raimat

Castell Chardonnay - RaimatThe Castell de Raimat Chardonnay from Raimat is a wonderfully expressive white wine from the Catalan DO Costers del Segre. In the glass, this top wine comes with bright straw yellow. Immediately it exudes ripe and aromatic nuances of peach, honeydew melon, nectarine and even some lychee. Spicy notes and a hint of vanilla complement. On the palate, the Castell de Raimat Chardonnay reveals a juicy, full and melting taste. A touch of residual sweetness makes for juicy and brisk drinking without taking away from this white wine's dry flavor profile. Background on the name of Raimat Castell Chardonnay Raimat is the dream of a visionary and the castle is a reminder of that. A coat of arms engraved in stone, found more than a hundred years ago at the entrance gate, shows a grape and a hand. This symbol became the origin of the name Raimat (raïm, the Catalan word for grape and mà the word for hand) and the logo of the House of Raimat. With this wine, the winery commemorates the origins of Raimat, which still stand strong as the walls of his castle.
