Description
Ripe chardonnay fruit was completely destemmed before being gently pressed and the juice settled prior to fermentation. Fermentation was carried out in a mixture of 500 L French oak puncheons and temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation the wine was aged on full yeast lees for a further 9 months, with periodic yeast lees stirring to build weight, complexity and mouthfeel. During this time around 50 % of the batches underwent malolactic fermentation.
