Montalto Pennon Hill Chardonnay
Hand harvested fruit is whole bunch pressed directly to French oak barriques and puncheons (16% new). A considered amount of solids is maintained in the ferment. Following wild primary fermentation, malolactic fermentation brings the natural acidity back into check. The wine is then left to mature on lees and stirred when appropriate following appraisal to enhance flavour and texture. The wine is aged for 9 months in oak prior to blending and bottling.
