Plana D'En Fonoll Chardonnay
This family of wines provides an insight into less common vines and more international wine styles, while always maintaining the Mediterranean character that the local environment bestows on all the wines from the winery. And hence the name, Plana d'en Fonoll, paying homage to the landscape and fennel, an omnipresent wild plant around our vineyards.

Pairing Notes
The fresh expression of this Chardonnay takes us away from the typical proposals for this variety and makes us think of starters and dishes that appreciate a good dose of fruit and acidity. Ideal with Caesar salad and fish terrines, especially salmon. Pairing wine with butter and curry sauces is also very pleasant, so this one goes perfectly with chicken curry or butter salmon. Drink within three years of harvest. Serve chilled (8°C).
Occasion
This range of wines, in addition to its own identity with the values offered by this variety, provides an insight into how an international variety grows in the Tierra Alta. So why not do the appropriate fieldwork and experience it first-hand? As it should be done in the world of wine. And also discover its versatility with food. The perfect pairing is with smoked meat and fish. Want to go a bit further? Well, accompany it with a nutritious salad featuring acidic fruit (apples or a strawberries). Mouthwatering!
In the vineyard
Vines and viticulture of the Chardonnay variety in the village of Bot. Planted area: 1.4 hectares Age of the vineyards: between 11 and 13 years Cultivation and management system: conventional agriculture and double Cordon de Royat pruning.
In the winery
Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature and storage in stainless steel tanks on fine lees for four months. Some of it has been partially fermented for four months on its lees in new 225-litre French oak barrels.
Sant Josep Vins
Agrícola Sant Josep is a cooperative that was founded in the village of Bot in 1962. It processes and sells the fruits of the three most traditional woody crops in Mediterranean agriculture: the vine, the olive tree and the almond tree.
Do Terra Alta
The so-called Customs of Orta (1296) and Miravet (1319) already regulated the sale of wine from the region. But it wasn't until the late nineteenth century that winegrowing became widespread. With the phylloxera plague, the demand from producers for DO Terra Alta [1] grapes increased, first from the French and then from the neighbouring regions that today are DO Tarragona and DOQ Priorat. In the early twentieth century, the organisation of cooperatives was a revolution.
