Mount Mary Vinyard Chardonnay 2018

Just like the "Claret' Quintett, the Chardonnay does not spend its maturation period exclusively in barriques. A mix of older and larger barrels (1,500 litres) is used in addition to 30% new French oak. Fermentation and the subsequent eleven months of ageing take place exclusively in wooden barrels, with a hard pressing intended to give the wine structure and depth. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out - the special Mount Mary terroir provides a perfect acid structure right from the harvest. The 2018 presents itself with almost aristocratic elegance: citrus fruit, white peach and nectarines form the fruity base, which is surrounded by hazelnut and a little flint.
