This is winemaking when you don’t care about the cost; the very best French oak, wild ferment, vineyard selection of the best Chardonnay from the vineyards. Chardonnay is pressed straight to barrel, and undergoes a natural ferment . The wine is left on high solids (all the bits of yeast and stuff) and this lets the wine develop depth and complexity. The wine is stopped from undergoing secondary malolactic fermentation, to help retain the natural acidity.
