Chardonnay 2022

The Chardonnay grapes were hand-harvested between the 3rd and 8th of October 2022 after a beautifully hot and dry summer. Fermented in a mixture of stainless steel and oak at cool temperatures using selected Burgundy yeast strains to enhance complexity, stone fruit, floral characters and minerality. Post fermentation there was full malolactic fermentation and extended fine lees ageing with regular bâtonnage to accentuate the natural weight. The wine was aged in oak for a little over a year before final blending.
