Information about "Crystallum Ferrum Chardonnay 2024"
The Crystallum Ferrum Chardonnay captivates with an intriguing aroma of lively citrus fruits, cardamom, and buttery toast, accented by a hint of citrus grass. A delicate mineral-saline note enhances its distinctive complexity and character. On the palate, the wine shines brightly and zesty, with a smooth texture reminiscent of light honey, leading to a generous and lingering finish. This vintage showcases exceptional aging potential.
The grapes were whole-bunch pressed without the addition of enzymes or sulfites, and the juice was allowed to rest overnight. The next morning, it was transferred to barrels to initiate spontaneous fermentation using only wild yeast from the environment. Following fermentation, the wine matured in barrels (300 L and 500 L), with 20% being new oak, for ten months.
