Chardonnay 2024 Paladin

What kind of wine is it

Chardonnay Paladin is a still white wine made from Chardonnay grapes grown in Veneto. Vinification in white and aging in stainless steel highlight its aromatic precision and clean taste. The profile is fresh, elegant, and medium-bodied, with balanced persistence that makes it pleasantly drinkable. Its linear style reflects the territory and attentive winemaking, offering a wine that’s versatile for many occasions.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from Paladin’s vineyards in the Annone Veneto area, in the province of Venice. The temperate climate, with breezy summers and strong temperature variations, favors clean aromas and good acidity. The local vineyards contribute to the wine’s fresh and fruity character.

How it’s made

Harvesting takes place when sugars and acidity reach their balance, with great attention to the health of the bunches. After gentle pressing, the must is clarified and ferments in stainless steel. Aging continues in steel for several months. Stabilization, filtration, and bottling complete the process, with a clean style focused on fruit.

Tasting notes

To the eye, Chardonnay Paladin shows a light straw yellow color with greenish highlights. On the nose, it offers distinct aromas of fresh fruit such as apple and peach, with tropical hints and subtle floral notes. The palate is fresh and savory, with a harmonious progression. The finish is long and pleasant, with fruity returns and a clean close that invites another sip.

Food pairings

The freshness of this Chardonnay makes it ideal as an aperitif and well-suited to fish dishes and delicate preparations. It pairs well with seafood starters, shellfish, steamed or baked fish, and light first courses with vegetables or white sauces. It also works with vegetarian cuisine, savory vegetable pies, and fresh cheeses. Regionally, it goes with sarde in saor and gò risotto, where sapidity and acidity find balance with the wine’s structure.

When to serve it

This white wine is a ready and refined choice for aperitifs, informal lunches, and dinners based on fish or vegetables. It is best served chilled to enhance its aromas and sense of cleanliness on the palate. It’s especially appreciated when young, for its fresh fruit notes, but can also be enjoyed after a short period in the bottle if well preserved.
