Siete Perros Chardonnay

San Antonio Valley

It´s true that at a first glance our little dachshund Pierre looks quite intellectual and sophisticated…but inside there´s a lively spirit, like our Chardonnay.

Looking for inspiration in the native country of this variety, this wine was made with organic grapes hand-harvested from a selected vineyard a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. It was fermented with its native yeasts and no oak was used during its aging to preserve its purity and freshness.

Where to Find It

unoaked chardonnay

This wine is our interpretation of a pure Chardonnay: it is made in stainless steel tanks, without the use of oak barrels or wood chips, in order to preserve its rich acidity and the freshness of the grapes.

tasting notes

“This Chardonnay is pure freshness, generous in aromas, but above all with a very good mouth. It has weight, and that weight feels full of flavors, while the acidity accompanies until the end, refreshing and providing tension”
