Description

The Glass Collection Chardonnay has a bright and brilliant colour with a slight green hue.

The wine has complex aromas of blossom, citrus peel, and limestone. On the palate there is a beautiful round comforting texture with wonderful length and intense fruit complexity.

Vinification

The grapes were lightly crushed and gently pressed.

The juice was transferred to two stainless steel fermenters where it underwent spontaneous fermentation (wild ferment from indigenous yeasts).

The two tanks ran at different temperatures. One at 13 degrees and the other at 16 degrees.

The wine was not allowed to go through malolactic fermentation and was left on the lees until bottling took place.

Maturation

10 months - in tanks - sur "lees"
