Description
The Chardonnay grapes for the Mrs English come from a single vineyard 0.78 hectares in size and 375 meters above sea level.The grapes were picked between 22.5-23° After pressing, the juice settled in stainless-steel tanks for 48 hours at 12-14°C before the clear juice was racked to French Oak Barrels. Each barrel was inoculated with different yeast strains. A third of the wine was fermented with natural yeasts. After fermentation in the barrels, the wine was left on the lees. The wine was sulphured then left to mature in the barrels for 11 months.
