WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2023 Bonterra Chardonnay is produced using 100% certified organic grapes. A significant portion, 70%, of the juice is fermented in a combination of French and American oak, including malolactic fermentation, to build richness and complexity. The remaining 30% is fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and vibrant fruit characteristics. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes several months of aging, with a focus on neutral oak to impart subtle nuances. The winery's practices are guided by a commitment to organic and regenerative agriculture.
