TASTING NOTES
A complex Chardonnay with white spice, pear and stone fruit aromas, while citrus fruit and peach entertain the palate. Natural salts found in the soils, present a delicate sensation of minerality in Baleia’s food-driven wines and prepares the palate beautifully.

The true essence of Baleia is in the soil, consisting largely of pure, solidlimestone with a very high mineral content. The climate, defined by their proximity to the sea, creates a particularmouthfeel to the wines with a chalky minerality and maritime salinity.
