By Farr GC Cotes Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

By Farr GC Chardonnay 2018 has a beautiful calmness and smoothness stretching the length of the palate. It is surrounded with mineral elements and textured fruit flavours. By Farr has been playing with the fruit from these vineyards for more than 8 years, fine tuning the style of wine that these vineyards are producing. What a result once it all came together.

The fruit is hand-picked then whole-bunch pressed in the winery. All the solids are collected and chilled before being put to barrel, which are 35 per cent new French oak. A natural fermentation will occur at cool temperatures over the next one to two months, and then a small amount of stirring helps start malolactic fermentation. The wine is then racked, fined and lightly filtered before bottling 11 months after picking. A complete chardonnay.
