Description
This Cavalli Chardonnay 2024 displays aromas of lime blossom, flint, white stone fruit and hints of yellow apple compliments notes of brioche, wood spice and grapefruit atop a vibrant acidity.
Grapes were hand-picked in the early morning at Cavalli in three separate pickings. Grapes were whole bunch pressed and settled overnight to achieve good clarity of juice. The juice was sent to barrel and inoculated in three separate batches. Fermentation was completed in barrel and the wine kept on its lees until bottling. The wine matured for 10 months in French oak barrels (30% new, 300L Burgundy Cooper), with fermentation, partial malolactic fermentation (20%), and extended lees ageing (9 months) contributing to its layered character.
