Inspired Company Chardonnay 2018 (12 x 750mL) SA

Description:

Climate

Warm to hot, dry conditions lead to harvest of high quality grapes with intense varietal flavours. The dryer than normal winter resulted reduce yields from some vineyards. Large temperature differentials from night to day have resulted in wines with excellent balance.

Viticulture

Trained onto two wire vertical trellises with both wires mechanically pruned back to 2 buds. The canopy is managed through reduced water to restrict its vigour and increase flavour intensity.

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 and 16 degrees C to allow for a longer ferment, again, in order to retain freshness and allow for maximum aromatic production.
