PRELUDE VINEYARDS CHARDONNAY

Style

Nashi pears and white peaches greet the nose, amidst aromas of fresh nougat and figs. The palate is characterised by white nectarines and pears. Oatmeal and subtle oak lie in the background, with all components brought together with a taut and refreshing acid line.

Winemaking

Crushed and destemmed grapes receive some skin contact prior to pressing. The juice is settled, racked

and inoculated with yeast. 100% of the juice is barrel fermented in French oak barriques, with regular lees

stirring, for nine months. The various components are then blended, fined and cold stabilized prior to bottling on site.

Cellaring

This wine is made for cellaring 8-10 years.
