Product details

  • Winemaker

    Rafael Urrejola

  • Variety

    Chardonnay
  • Falaris Hill Vineyard Chardonnay has a refined and complex nose with ripe citrus character and mineral notes. Subtle oak influence combines with lemon and dry wheat aromas. Fresh and dense in the mouth, with a creamy texture in the mid palate and a lively acidity further back, providing freshness and length to a toasted almonds aftertaste.

Liquid Hunches: "Lemony and racy."

Bob TyrerThe Sunday Times, October 2011

Winemaking

The grapes were hand harvested during the mornings of the first week of April and then underwent a gentle whole cluster pressing. The juice was chilled down to 8C and then gravity clarified. The must was fermented with several yeasts selections in French oak barrels, 25 % of them new. Battonage was done twice a week while the wine was in barrels, 8 months, for the right integration of fruit and oak aromas and flavours. The vineyard is managed in order to keep low yields, between 6 and 7 tons per hectare, and therefore to obtain top quality wines.
