Produced by Merryvale – a renowned California winery with a long history, known for its premium wines from classic varieties such as Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery combines traditional winemaking techniques with modern technologies to create elegant and complex wines with a clear varietal character. The Silhouette line is distinguished by delicacy, balance and velvety structure.
Varietal composition:
100% Chardonnay
Terroir:
The vineyards are located in California, in the Napa Valley and neighboring regions – with a favorable Mediterranean climate, warm days and cool nights. The soils are diverse – calcareous-clay and stony, well-drained, which helps the concentration of aromas and the development of structured, full-bodied wines.
Vinification:
The grapes are hand-picked and subjected to careful selection. Part of the fermentation takes place in new and used oak barrels, with a controlled temperature, to develop complexity and velvety texture, while preserving the freshness and fruity nuances of the variety. Aging on fine lees adds additional density and harmony.
