Vinifikation:
On the vine we just leave 8 grapes to have a guarantee of good quality. So the vine is able to deliver his
whole energy to few grapes. To get a good developed grape, we also remove the leaves on the grape level, so
that the sun can reach the berry. After a ripeness of 20° KMW (200 g/l sugar) we picked the grapes by hand,
destemmed it and cooled the maishe and macerate before pressing. After this, we started with a clear grape
juice the fermentation, which was controlled by 17 °C 12 days. 1/3 of Chardonnay was fermented in used
oak the other in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation we gave the wine time to age, to get a harmonious
structure.
