Alpha Domus Skybolt Chardonnay (750ml)

Made from a combination of different subregions and vineyards carefully selected for quality and flavour. The fruit was harvested and pressed quickly with minimal winemaking intervention to preserve fruit flavour. Once clear juice is racked off, a combination of selected and wild yeast is used for fermentation. After a brief cold settle, the clear juice was racked off to a mix of different French oak barriques, hogsheads and puncheons. Some barrels were fermented using temperature control and others allowed to ferment at ambient for increased mouthfeel. Lees stirring in barrel took place for 10 months to increase complexity and roundness. The wine was racked from barrel using inert gas to make a blend in tank prior to being stabilised and filtered for bottling. Maturation on light yeast lees adds texture and flavour which is balanced by fresh natural acidity from the grapes. Bottled under screw cap to maintain freshness and integrity of the wine through to your glass.
