UNIQUENESS
Charlaúra is a wine of folly, fermented and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. Produced without common sense, and with displaced Chardonnay grapes, in the Antehojuela soils of the Sierra de Montilla. A native of the Sierra, refined, for ageing, and, one might say, a little “off the wall”.
