Ondine Chardonnay 2010

Colour: Light yellow, straw like colour.
Aroma: White peach, lemon and lime and sweet vanilla.
Flavour: Oak, citrus, crisp acidity with creamy textures.
Finish: Well balanced and integrated wood(oak), vanilla oak good crisp acidity.

General: The  great debate has always existed between wine supporters of a wooded and unwooded Chardonnay. We set out to combine the abundance of fruit in an unwooded product with a barreled matured Chardonnay.

Harvest date: March 2009
in the cellar : No skin contact was allowed and the juice was quickly drawn off and cooled to 12°C.  Fermented with less aromatic yeast allows the intrinsic quality of the grapes and terroir to come to the fore. Barrel fermentation was only done in 2nd and 3rd fill barrels. The wine was bâttonaged regularly and aged for five months.

Bottling date: November 2009
