Glenwood Chardonnay Vigneron's Selection 2021

Yellow straw colour. Subdued nose with vanilla and marmelade. Citrus peel and butter on the full palate with a crisp and lingering aftertaste. Lengthy and refined with a steely minerality on the finish. Drink through 2030.

Vine age:11 years A low canopy allowed optimal sunlight penetration. Minimal irrigation was used. The fruit ripened slowly allowing the development of small bunches with highly concentrated flavors.

Grapes were picked at 23.0°B and whole-bunch pressed to 1.4 bars of pressure. The juice was left to settle for two days and racked to barrel. Using 100% wild yeast, fermentation occurred over an 9-day period.

The wine spent 9 months on the lees in 30% new French oak and 70% second and third fill barrels.
