Clos des Fous `Locura 1` Chardonnay from Malleco Valley, Chile, is a vibrant white (still) dry wine crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes. This cool-climate expression undergoes direct pressing and fermentation with wild yeasts, then ages for nine months on fine lees in stainless steel, preserving its fresh character without malolactic fermentation. It offers enticing aromas of pineapple, green apple, white peach, and delicate white flowers, leading to a crisp, mineral mouthfeel with steely acidity. This wine is an excellent partner for lean fish, poultry, and light appetizers.
