Vinification Details
The fruit was destemmed and lightly pressed, with the free run juice cold settled to partial clarity, racked into stainless steel fermentation tanks and inoculated with a pure yeast culture. 50% of the ferment underwent a temperature-controlled fermentation at 14-16˚C for several weeks. No malolactic fermentation was undertaken. The resulting wine was blended and filtered prior to bottling. These techniques have been perfected over time, resulting in a truly spectacular New Zealand Chardonnay.
