WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Chardonnay is crafted with a focus on preserving fresh, vibrant primary fruit characteristics. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo a careful temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. To maintain its crisp acidity and bright fruit profile, the wine does not undergo oak aging, resulting in a clean, pure, and refreshing expression of the varietal.
