Description

Tasting notes keenans chardonnay was hand harvested de-stemmed then gently pressed. The juicewas fermented and aged in french and american oak barrels. The wine was left on the lees and the barrels were stirred weekly. No secondary or malolactic fermentation was carried out leading to the crisp citrus character of this wine. The wine was bottled after approximately seven months of aging in the cellar. The finished wine shows citrus ripe pear and green apple in the nose. Hints of lush white peach are noticed as the wine opens up. The sur-lie aging has added richness and complexity and a touch of toasty oak returns on the finish
