Profile & Story
Alexandrea Chardonnay Reserve 2023 is a refined expression of Armenian winemaking, crafted from hand-picked Chardonnay grapes grown in the rich clay and sandy loam soils of Proshyan, Kotayk. Harvested at peak maturity in mid-September, the fruit undergoes an extended aging period of nine months in a selection of American, Armenian, and French oak barrels. Each barrel is carefully evaluated, and only the finest lots are chosen for this exclusive reserve blend. The result is a luxurious, full-bodied Chardonnay that highlights the depth and elegance of Armenian terroir. Bottled at 13.8% alcohol, this vintage showcases both craftsmanship and exceptional quality.
