mehrere Informationen

The Cap Maritime Chardonnay ensnares the nose with an inviting bouquet of intense citrus aromas as well as subtle hints of juicy blood oranges, yellow apples, fresh peaches and angelica. Subtle undertones of nutmeg, ginger and cloves from gently toasted oak can also be sniffed out. The elegant and balanced palate is caressed by delicious nuances of ripe tangerine and hints of lemon cream and white flowers. On the mid palate, this highly endowed Chardonnay presents itself of immense concentration and supple butteriness, at the same time with good weight and nice tension. On the finish one hears subtle smoky nuances with a pleasant freshness and delicate hints of lemongrass and verbena. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

After harvesting, the grapes were sorted by hand and transported cooled to the winery, where they were subjected to another rigorous selection before going into the press on the whole bunch. The resulting juice rested in steel tanks for two days before being destemmed and the clear juice was transferred 50% each to small Burgundy barrels and new French barriques, where spontaneous fermentation took its course. "Spontaneous" in this context means that fermentation was not set in motion by the addition of commercial yeasts, but exclusively by the "wild yeast" naturally occurring on the fruit as well as in the environment. The wine spent 14 months in the barrel, with regular stirring up and down of the yeast (batonnage).
