Product information "Vergelegen Chardonnay 2016"
The Vergelegen Chardonnay presents itself of a delicate lemon yellow with fresh green colour reflexes in the glass and exudes an immensely complex bouquet of citrus aromas, peach, tropical fruit and fine mineral notes. On the palate it unfolds with subtle mineral accents, elegant fruit and perfectly integrated wood notes. A wine of stunning elegance and rare finesse!

The grapes were pressed all over the bunch and immediately separated from the skin. After light clarification, the juice was put into oak barrels for alcoholic fermentation, of which 20% was new wood (Francois Frère, Dargaud & Jaegle) and 80% was second, third and fourth wood. Once fermentation was complete, the wine matured on the lees for 8 months before being bottled for enjoyment.
