2025 'Alicia' Chardonnay, Otto Bestué, Somontano

"The 2025 Bodega Otto Bestué 'Alicia' Chardonnay comes from a family that has been making wine here beside the Rio Cinca in Somontano since 1640. The river brings ice-cold water down from the higher Pyrenees as well as cool winds which give great freshness to the wines. Lorenzo Otto and sons Jorge and Ignacio work hard to make their wines as expressive as possible and this bone-dry almost Chablis-like Chardonnay is aged on the lees for weight and has just a touch of Riesling added to lift the acidity and add complexity."
