mehrere Informationen

The Great Heart Stellenbosch Chardonnay presents a delicate stony color in the glass and exudes a fragrant bouquet of white fynbos flowers and melba toast. On the palate, this highly endowed drop makes its debut with a gorgeous minerality reminiscent of wet stone and indulges with a racy acidity and seductive nuances of fresh Granny Smith apple and candied lemon peel. An immensely complex and finessed wine with a broad mid palate, marked by delicious brioche notes that finish on a lingering and freshly mineral finish. Great Heart is Mullineux's employee development project. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes, still cool, were whole bunch pressed on arrival at the winery and the juice obtained was left to rest overnight. The must was then skimmed and placed in French barriques for spontaneous fermentation (20% new wood). "Spontaneous" in this context means that no commercial yeasts were added to the must. Only the yeast naturally present in the environment and on the fruit started the fermentation process, without the further addition of sulfites or other additives. The fermentation temperature was always kept below 22°C. After completion of the alcoholic as well as malolactic fermentation, the wine spent 10 months on the lees without the addition of sulfites until the barrels were cut and the wine was bottled.
