Vinification of the Creation Wines Chardonnay Reserve

The balanced Chardonnay Reserve from South Africa is a single varietal wine made from the Chardonnay grape variety. In the Western Cape, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of clay and schist. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
