Paul Cluver The Wagon Trail Chardonnay 2015
The grapes were selected from 28 year old Chardonnay vineyards, the oldest on the property in Elgin. After whole bunch pressing, the juice was settled naturally. The juice was then transferred to barrel for fermentation without inoculation. The barrels used for this wine are from selected Burgundian cooperages, one third was new wood. The wine was left on the gross lees for nine months before racking, stabilisation and bottling.
