WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2021 Summum Chardonnay is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. The winemaking process begins with whole cluster pressing. Fermentation is carried out using native yeasts in 500L Austrian oak Stockinger puncheons, with 70% of these being new oak. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for nine months in puncheon, then transferred to stainless steel for an additional six months. A total of 350 cases were produced.
