De Forellen Chardonnay 2000

The De Forellen Chardonnay has hints of citrus, green apple and cinnamon on the nose. This follows through onto the palate to provide a beautifully balanced amalgam of tastes. Enjoy this wine as an aperitif or with salad, white meat or fish.

The free run juice and a portion of the pressed juice from the de-stemmed grapes was added to the juice of the bunch-pressed grapes. The juice was settled over 48 hours at 12°C before the clear juice was racked off and inoculated with yeast and fermented for 12 days until dry. The wine was given a light fining after fermentation to settle the lees and it was cold-stabilised and filtered before bottling.
