Vinification
Grapes were whole-bunch pressed, ensuring that only the best quality juice was used for this unwooded style of Chardonnay. Fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation with a higher turbidity juice and using different yeast strains contributed to more diverse complex flavours. Bâtonnage was done weekly for the first three months, which allowed for greater richness in the wine.
