Vine to Wine

Harvested by hand at dawn, Chardonnay grapes were pressed and the juice then separated into three batches for separate fermentation using different strains of yeast, each imparting a unique aroma and taste profile to add to complexity. Aged on lees in French Oak barrels for almost 12 months.
