Bosc is the name of the very best and most sunny location and area of the vineyard. Chardonnay Bosc from that location is from late harvest carried out on the full ripeness of the grapes. Wine is made with the process of cold maceration (for 24 hours) and it is aged in oak barrels (barriques) for 18 months. Chardonnay Bosc is very complex wine with high alcohol extacts and 14 % of alcohol content which indicates the potential of this wine. The wine is straw-yellow in colour, which indicates the ripeness of the grapes. Its fragrance is reminiscent of oranges, almonds, walnuts, fresh butter, baked bread. It has quite spicy and very long lasting flavour with notes of vanilla and herbs. It is an excellent accompaniment to fresh cheeses and salami, red meat and venison.
