More about this wine

Pepik is a largely unoaked style of Chardonnay made from estate grown Tamar Valley fruit. The juice obtained from the destemmed grapes was clarified before it was fermented with cultivated yeast strains in stainless steel. The wine was then left to rest on its lees for two months, with a minor amount of its barrel fermented sibling was blended in for a touch of savouriness. The parcels were then blended, clarified and stabilised in preparation for bottling.
