Tasting notes
Beautiful golden colour. Crafted in a fresh, soft style with bright apple and sweet citrus fruit character with subtle spice and oak nuances.
Vinification
About 60% of the wine is aged sur lie for 5 months. The remaining about 40% are fermented in stainless steel tank and was added to the blend to make a fresh style of Chardonnay. Malolactic fermentation follows yeast fermentation for added richness and complexity.
Ageing
5 months on the fine lees in a mix of 50% neutral oak and 10% new oak for added complexity for 60% of the wine.
Food pairing
An outstanding aperitif but also excellent aired with roasted white meats and elaborate cheeses.
