After harvest, the grapes are carefully pressed, and the juice is fermented in a combination of stainless steel and older French oak barrels. This balanced approach allows the vibrant fruit flavours to shine while adding a subtle layer of complexity and texture. The wine is then aged on its lees for several months, enhancing its richness and mouthfeel. We bottle the Chardonnay with minimal intervention, preserving its freshness and vibrancy.

This continues for up to 2 and a half weeks. Once the alcohol has been successfully produced we then transfer this must into a press whereby we further extract more flavour, colour and tannin. Once the pressing has completed, the clean wine is transferred back into vessels for further maturation and malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured in French Oak and for up to 12 months.
