Technical Analysis
The Kalfu ranges are linked to the sea creatures depicted on the labels: Molu means 'where the sun sets' - historically it was believed that during the day stars would hide in the sea and become starfish. Molu is Kalfu's Reserva range.
Tasting note
On the nose tropical fruit aromas, such as papaya, mango and ripe pineapple are complemented by gentle notes of vanilla. A well-rounded wine with good volume, a concentrated palate, but fresh at the same time where vanilla and tropical fruits mingle. A long, clean finish.
Vintage conditions
A cold year from December to February, unlike the warm years of 2019 and 20. In March there was a change in temperatures that remained relatively consistent throughout the month that allowed an acceleration in the last moment of maturity. The grapes were harvested in March.
Vinification details
During the process, the juice was protected from contact with air. Prior to the fermentation, a cold maceration was carried out for a period of between 12 to 14 hours to increase contact between juice and skin. The fermentation was carried out slowly, maintaining a constant temperature between 13 and 16ºC, to allow extraction of fruit and mineral aromas characteristic of the variety. After fermentation, it was left to rest for 6 months on its lees, making smooth movements (bâtonnage) to maximize contact. About 15% of the volume was aged in French oak for a period of 6 months.

On the nose tropical fruit aromas, such as papaya, mango and ripe pineapple are complemented by gentle notes of vanilla. A well-rounded wine with good volume, a concentrated palate and a long, clean finish.
Vintage conditions
The temperatures were moderate to cool in 2018, which meant that the grapes ripened slowly and the resulting wines were well-balanced, fresh and aromatic.
Vinification details
The clusters were harvested by night and then carefully transported to the winery. Prior to fermentation, a cold maceration was carried out for a period of 12 to 14 hours to increase contact between juice and skin. The fermentation was carried out slowly, maintained at a constant temperature of between 13 and 16ºC, which allowed for extraction of the fruit and mineral aromas characteristic of Chardonnay. After fermentation, it was left to rest for 6 months on its lees, with regular bâtonnage. About 15% of the volume was raised in French oak for six months.

Tasting note
On the nose, this wine is elegant and expressive, notable for its tropical fruit aromas, such as papaya and pineapple, which blend with gentle notes of citrus. A well-rounded wine with good volume, delicious acidity and a gentle finish.
Vintage conditions
The 2017 growing season was marked by low temperatures in the Lolol Valley during the ripening period, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly. The absence of rainfall throughout the season produced healthy grapes with good levels of acidity and moderately low alcohol content.
