Wine Description
This wine is a lovely, sophisticated, modern style of Chardonnay with intense fresh lifted melon and stone-fruit characters. A savoury note from the barrel fermentation adds complexity and the merest hint of French oak on the finish. The juice was cold settled overnight before being racked and inoculated with yeast for fermentation. A portion was then run to oak once the fermentation was under way. When the tank ferment was complete the wine was then put into oak and matured for 7 months in 2 and 3 year old French oak barriques and puncheons prior to preparation for bottling.
