40% of the wine was fermented in new 300L French oak hogsheads. Once primary fermentation in barrel was completed, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation followed by regular lees stirring and topping for a total of 8 months in barrel. The remaining 60% underwent cool fermentation in tank, where it was held on its yeast lees for 8 months prior to blending with the oak portion.
A delicate green and gold colour, this Chardonnay smells of white peach and toasty nuances. The palate is tightly structured and has crisp acidity with somewhat honeyed texture. Enjoy now, or can be cellared for another 4 to 5 years
