Product information "Haskell Dombeya Chardonnay 2017"
The Haskell Dombeya Chardonnay presents itself both on the nose and on the palate with wonderful aromas and taste nuances of fragrant lemon grass and fine pear drops as well as mineral hints of wet stone. Exceptionally soft on the palate, this Chardonnay pampers with a heavenly creaminess, fine tones of honey and white peaches as well as a piquant acidity and a silky finish. The creamy, rich texture is in wonderful harmony with the ever-present freshness in this wine!

The hand-picked grapes were harvested at four different stages of ripeness on four different days in order to maximise the flavour spectrum of the wine. The grapes were pressed all over the bunch and fermented with different yeast cultures in 228 l French oak barrels. Since the aim was a fruit-driven wine, no new oak wood was used for the vinification process, but only second, third and fourth wood. Malolactic fermentation was stopped shortly after the end of alcoholic fermentation in order to preserve the fresh acidity of the wine. The wine then matured in the barrel for 10 months and was then bottled for final enjoyment.
