Viticulture and Vinification

Sole Chardonnay comes from selected parcels of our best grapes. As befits a premium product, extra attention is applied to all facets of the production. Fermentation is partially in new French oak barrels. These are carefully hand stirred after fermentation to maintain the yeast in suspension and allow extraction of additional palate weight. This process is know as battonage and is employed three times per week until the desired flavour profile has been achieved. Oak selection is important in this wine and a combination of different toasting intensities are used on the oak to incorporate another level of flavour complexity.
