WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Favia Carbone Coombsville Chardonnay 2020 is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation in barrel, with battonage used to enhance mouthfeel. Malolactic fermentation is deliberately prevented to preserve the wine's freshness. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes eight months of aging sur lie in French oak barrels. The vineyard practices include organic farming of vines that are over 30 years old. The production volume for the 2020 vintage was 1,609 cases.
