Viticulture
Founded in 1647, Chivite is one of Spain's oldest wine dynasties. At its Legardeta estate in Navarra, a unique microclimate and low-intervention viticulture produce exceptional fruit. Cool northern slopes suit Chardonnay, while warmer southern slopes ripen reds. The estate is also home to the acclaimed Colección 125 Chardonnay.
Vinification
At the estate winery, modern technology supports traditional winemaking. Small-batch fermentation with 18–20 days of maceration at 24–28°C preserves the grapes' natural character and prevents over-extraction. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages 14 months in French oak barrels (40% new, 60% second-use).
Food Match
Beef, game and stews.
