Minimum Wines Chardonnay 750ml

100% Chardonnay. 100% barrel-fermented and aged on lees in barrel for 8 months.

Buttery, grapefruit, white peach, almond, spice.

A wine full of heart, like being surrounded by family. Classically French in style. Buttery, rich & citrusy. Grapefruit, white peach and nectarine with baked bread, almond and vanilla spice notes. Textural, savoury and creamy with a lively freshness persisting.

Free-run juice and first pressings only. Inoculated with biodynamic yeast culture and held in stainless-steel tank for 3 days. Then transferred to 25% new, 25% 1 to 2-yr-old and 50% 3+ year-old French oak hogsheads. Fermented in barrel for another 2 weeks. Then racked and redistributed to carry on through malo in the same barrels. Matured in barrel for 8 months. Then racked, filtered and bottled. This wine had a tartaric add. Wouldn’t call this ‘low sulphur’ however only two-thirds of what we are allowed in our organic protocol. Sulphur added post-malo and just prior to bottling.
