Information about "Vondeling Barrel Selection Chardonnay 2024"

The Vondeling Chardonnay presents itself in a glass of delicate straw gold and smells refreshingly of pear and peach blossoms, a fine hint of lemon meringue cake and freshly rolled oatmeal. An ungmein full-bodied wine with great tension on the palate! Delicious taste nuances of crisp apples and chalky citrus fruit are complemented and rounded off by delicate hints of creamy crème brulé, fluffy cotton candy and floral potpourris. The finish is soft and pleasant, with a Chardonnay with fantastic finesse that lingers wonderfully long after the last sip.

Treatment in the cellar All grapes are picked at optimum ripeness in the early hours of the morning. They are then packed into a cold room to be chilled further for processing the following day. The grapes are whole bunch pressed, which reduces the absorption of coarse phenolics and helps retain more of the grape’s natural vibrancy. The juice is not settled but sent directly to three and 400-liter French oak barrels where spontaneous wild yeast fermentation takes place. No Sulphur is added, and the wine typically undergoes a high degree of malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured on its yeast lees for seven months after which it is blended to tank, then returned to barrel for a further four months. The wine spends 11 months in barrel before finally being returned to tank for a gentle filtration and stabilization before bottling.
