WINEMAKING
The Chardonnay was picked at optimum ripeness during the coolest period of the early morning to help retain the primary fruit flavours. It was transported directly to the winery post-harvest, delicately pressed to tank, and allowed to cold settle. 24 hours later the juice was racked, with high solids, to oak, for wild fermentation. Malolactic fermentation was not encouraged so the vibrant natural acidity was preserved. Individual barrel selection for the final blend.
