Old Vines Chardonnay

Old Vines Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $23.95 per bottle

Description: These grapes were hand harvested from 30 year old vines and whole berry pressed. This wine was barrel fermented in new, 1 and 2 year old French oak barrels. 3 different yeasts were used to creating a finished wine with more complexity and character. The wine sat on its primary lees for 10 months until it was racked and filtered ready for bottling. During this time battonage was being done for the first 3 months weekly and then after that it was being done every 3-4 weeks until it was removed from barrel. Barrels from four different cooperage houses were used to get the right blend of oak and vanilla and yet respect the fruit in the wine.
