Of a clear, bright and fresh straw colour in the glass, the Glenelly Estate Reserve Chardonnay pampers with a decadent and dazzling bouquet of aromatic citrus, lime, butterscotch, creamy vanilla and freshly baked apple pie as well as a hint of juicy pear drops. On the palate this first-class drop presents itself generously and opulently with grace and elegance and delicious nuances of fine citrus fruit and ripe stone fruit. The aftertaste is long and well-balanced and brings perfect pleasure.

The grapes were pressed all over the bunch and the juice obtained was poured into new and second filled oak barrels with a capacity of 500 l per barrel. After a short resting period, the must fermented spontaneously (wild). Spontaneous in this context means that the fermentation process was initiated exclusively by naturally occurring yeast and completely without the use of commercial yeasts. After completion of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine spent another 10 months on the fine yeast, and thus a total of 11 months in barrique.
