Spee Wah Houseboat Chardonnay 2017 (6 x 750mL) SA

Description:

Vinification

Harvested during the cool of the night to retain freshness and varietal character, the Chardonnay was then de-stemmed and pressed gently in an airbag press to release juice without extracting too much tannin.

The juice was then clarified before being inoculated with specifically chosen yeast strains designed to bring out the varietal characters of the wine. Fermentation was in stainless steel tanks and temperatures were kept between 14°C and 16°C to allow for a longer ferment, again, in order to retain freshness and allow for maximum aromatic production.

The wine was then stored in stainless steel on American and French oak blend to produce complexity, stirred on lees to create texture and mouthfeel, before being fined, finished and bottled.
