WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Robertson Chardonnay is produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Fermentation occurs primarily in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures (12°C for 19 days), with 20% fermented on wood. The wine undergoes lees aging for 80 days to enhance complexity and creaminess. A portion (20%) is matured on French oak for six months or with French oak staves. The winery emphasizes minimal processing and soft pressing to retain natural fruit flavors.
