Chardonnay

Pale straw yellow in colour. Riper style chardonnay with apricots, yellow apples and white peach. A touch of oak gives some vanilla undertones to the wine. The pallet entry is creamy and sweet with a fresh crisp finish.

Technical Notes

Our grapes are machine harvested in the cool, early hours of the morning and processed immediately. The grapes are sorted and destemmed before they are pressed. This short supply from vine to press ensures minimal degradation of the fruit aromas. The free run juice and press juices are kept separate from each other and treated according to their individual character. The wines are cold fermented in small stainless-steel tanks with a specific yeast strain that enhance the fruit character of Chardonnay. After fermentation, the wines are lightly wooded with staves for 2 months to promote mouth feel and creaminess, before blended, stabilized and bottled.
