Description

Pago Ayles Unexpected Chardonnay BIO 2025 - organic, 100% ‘Chardonnay’ white wine from Aragon, near Zaragoza, from the Pago Aylés farm.
The UNexpected Chardonnay line is characterized by clean fruitiness and a clear, “altitude” freshness, complemented by a subtle layer of oak. The wine is made from old ‘Chardonnay’ vines growing about 900-1000 m above sea level and the shale soils provide more tension, minerality and structure.

Aroma
The aroma is dominated by white fruit: ripe pear, apple, hints of melon, citrus peel. In the background, white flowers and a light spice (clove, thyme) appear, which is often associated with a touch of oak and local vegetation.

Taste
The wine is fresh in the mouth, with lively acidity that reinforces the fruitiness and does not allow the taste to “let go”. The texture is softly full, with a light creaminess and a clean, spicy-mineral aftertaste.

Fermentation and aging
UNexpected 'Chardonnay' grapes are hand-harvested and the wine is aged in oak barrels to gain more volume and structure, without losing freshness.

Serving recommendations

Serve at a temperature of 12-14 °C with salmon steaks, chicken nuggets, scallops with broccoli sauce, and lighter cheeses.

About brand

Bodega Pago Aylés

Bodega Pago Aylés is located in northeastern Spain, near the city of Zaragoza, midway between Madrid and Barcelona. Ramón Reula's family wine project began in the 1980s. At that time, it became one of the largest private historical estates in Aragon (3,200 hectares). Aylés is more than just a winery and vineyard: it is a clearly defined territory where nature and wine have harmoniously coexisted for centuries. It is an impressive landscape of contrasts, encompassing the Huerva River, which carves spectacular ravines. This landscape is blessed with clay, limestone, and chalk soils, deep caves, and underground rivers, to which the vineyards bring a true symphony of life and color. Understanding the importance of environmental care, all vineyards are currently under ecological and sustainable farming, and the 2020 harvest received organic winemaking certification. In 2010, Aylés received the "Vino de Pago" classification, which is the highest quality designation for wine in Spain.

Wine Style

Bodega Pago Aylés wines are characterized by the distinct "terroir" reflection of the region, elegance, and complexity. The winery's philosophy is to combine respect for nature and traditions with modern technologies.

Red Wine: Pago Aylés is famous for its red wines, made from "Garnacha," "Tempranillo," "Merlot," and "Cabernet Sauvignon" grape varieties. These wines are characterized by a deep color, intense fruit and spice aromas, well-balanced tannins, and a long finish.
White Wine: Although the winery focuses mainly on red wine, it also produces high-quality white wines, characterized by freshness, minerality, and elegance.

Prestigious Vineyards

Bodega Pago Aylés manages one large, contiguous vineyard, which is unique due to its geographical location and soil composition:

Pago Aylés Vineyard: This vineyard is exceptional due to its diverse soil, microclimate, and old vines. It grows local and international grape varieties that are perfectly adapted to the local conditions.

This contiguous vineyard is the pride of Bodega Pago Aylés and the main guarantee of their wines' quality.

Aging and Consumption Period

It is recommended to taste Bodega Pago Aylés wines within five years of their production date to enjoy their youthful freshness. However, red wines, which are aged in oak barrels for 12 to 24 months, and then for some time in bottles, can be kept longer under suitable conditions.
