RW Constitution Road Chardonnay 2014

Rich interlaced aromas of citrus, buttered toast, marmalade and vanilla are prominent on the nose. Zesty acidity cuts the creamy texture on the palate followed by layers of citrus, pear and butterscotch that lingers on the finish.

in the cellar : At the Cellar grapes were soft crushed and sent to the Elite press where the juice was separated into two fractions, the free-run and press juice fractions. Only the free-run juice was used. Juice was partially settled for 12 hours after which it was racked off the heavy lees and taken to new and 2nd fill French oak barrels. Fermentation took place in barrel after which the wine was left on the primary lees and underwent malolactic fermentation. Wine was left on the primary lees for the duration of maturation, during the first two months of ageing wine was battonage once every second week there after only once a month. No sulphur was added during ageing.

The wine was racked in August 2015 after 18 months of maturation and blended for bottling.
