2019 - Chardonnay
2019 - Chardonnay
The first harvest from a special parcel planted in 2016. Incredibly pure and long, the whole parcel was lost in 2020, so this is currently a one-off!
Cuvée: Chardonnay
Style: Still
Colour: White
Grapes/Blend: Chardonnay
ABV: 12.5%
Vintage: 2019
Winemaking: Andi follows the same process for each of his whites: grapes are hand harvested, and are pressed straight away, with volumes split between a 100-year-old basket press and a more modern pneumatic press. Juice is then transferred to old barrels for fermentation and ageing. The 2019 Chardonnay had 2 years in barrel before being bottled unfiltered and unfined, zero sulphur.
Sulphur: None added
Soil: Shell Limestone and Keuper, from the same vineyard, the terroir changes as you move just 3 metres down the hill.
