- Winemaking Notes
As in previous year the Chardonnay was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. Pressing was light to retain the primary fruit flavours with delicate tannin structure. Fermentation was conducted in new and seasoned French hogsheads with minimal barrel stirring. After 9 months in barrel was lightly fined and bottled.
- Food Pairing
Richer style poultry & seafood dishes.
