Information about "Vondeling Barrel Selection Chardonnay 2023"

The Vondeling Barrel Selection Chardonnay 2024 presents a delicate straw-yellow hue in the glass, emanating inviting aromas of ripe pears, floral peach blossoms, and a fine touch of caramelized oats. On the palate, it showcases a medium to full-bodied structure with delightful flavors of crisp apples and chalky citrus fruits, intertwined with soft hints of crème brûlée, fluffy cotton candy, and toasted almonds. Its finish is smooth and pleasant, allowing the brilliance of this Chardonnay to echo long after the last sip.

Treatment in the cellar All grapes are picked at optimum ripeness in the early hours of the morning. They are then packed into a cold room to be chilled further for processing the following day. The grapes are whole bunch pressed, which reduces the absorption of coarse phenolics and helps retain more of the grape’s natural vibrancy. The juice is not settled but sent directly to three and 400-liter French oak barrels where spontaneous wild yeast fermentation takes place. No Sulphur is added, and the wine typically undergoes a high degree of malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured on its yeast lees for seven months after which it is blended to tank, then returned to barrel for a further four months. The wine spends 11 months in barrel before finally being returned to tank for a gentle filtration and stabilization before bottling.
