Planeta Chardonnay

The grapes were harvested during the first half of August and after de-stemming and crushing, the juice was cold macerated for 8-12 hours. It was then transferred to 225 litre oak barrels (1/2 new, 1/2 one year old) to ferment before ageing in 225 litre Allier oak barrels for 10 months. Golden yellow with greenish hue. On the nose it comes across very intense, with citrus fruit flavours, chestnut, honey and a spicy complexity. Great with mushroom and truffle risotto and medium bodied, hard cheeses.
