Food Matching

Vinification
Produced by cold pressing Chardonnay grapes which are hand harvested using 10kg cases once they have reached optimal maturity & kept refrigerated overnight at 5-10°C. The day after the grapes are destemmed and softly pressed in order to avoid the extraction of unwanted compounds. The resulting must is then decanted into stainless-steel tanks where the wine is clarified in order to remove all the sediments and then fermented at a controlled temperature of 15-17°C.
Aging
After the fermentation the wine is kept on yeast lees for about 60 days, the wine is then decanted and bottled.
