The Chardonnay grape is known for its versatility and ability to express the terroir where it is grown. In Sa Cabana, the vines enjoy a Mediterranean climate that provides ideal conditions for its development. As summer progresses, the grapes ripen in the sun, accumulating sugars and developing their characteristic aromatic profile.
How is harvesting done in Sa Cabana?
Harvest is a crucial time that requires meticulous planning. Our team of winemakers and viticulturists carefully monitors the ripening of the grapes to determine the optimal harvest time. The quality of the final wine depends on this decision, as harvesting at the exact point of ripeness ensures the best expression of aromas and flavors.
At Sa Cabana, we harvest by hand, which allows us to select the grapes with greater precision and ensure that only the best grapes reach the winery. This traditional method, although laborious, reflects our commitment to quality.
How is the elaboration process?
Once harvested, the Chardonnay grapes go through a gentle pressing process to extract the must. At our facilities, we use modern technology to control fermentation, ensuring that it takes place at low temperatures. This preserves the delicate floral and fruity aromas that characterize our wines.
After fermentation, some of our Chardonnay wines are aged in oak barrels, adding complexity and notes of vanilla and spice. Others are kept in stainless steel to preserve their freshness and vibrant acidity.
A wine for every moment
The Chardonnay grape harvest allows us to offer a diverse range of wines, from the lightest and most refreshing to the most complex and structured. Each bottle is an expression of our land and our passion for viticulture.
At Bodega Sa Cabana, the harvest is more than just picking grapes; it is a ritual that celebrates nature, teamwork and dedication to excellence. This August, we toast to a new harvest and look forward to sharing our wines with all of you.
Cheers!
Every August, Sa Cabana is filled with activity and excitement with the harvest of the Chardonnay grape, one of the most appreciated varieties in our winery. This month marks the beginning of a process that culminates in the creation of fresh and elegant white wines, distinctive characteristics of our house.
