tasting notes
The wine shows honeysuckle and citrus aromas on the nose with a hint of biscuit from subtle oak influence. This chardonnay has great texture on the palate, balanced by a crisp aftertaste.
ageing potential
These perfectly ripe grapes are gently pressed to avoid any harsh phenols. After settling for two days, the juice is then racked and fermented at cool temperatures and left on the lees for 9 months to enhance depth of flavour and texture. 50% of the blend was fermented in stainless steel tanks and the other 50% were fermented in older French oak barrels. The idea behind the oak is only to enhance the complexity of the wine.
