Fun Facts & Tips

Oak vs Unoaked Chardonnay

 French oak barrels can impart flavours of vanilla, cedar, and clove, while unoaked Chardonnay is crisp and fruit-driven.

Malolactic Fermentation

This process softens acidity and introduces creamy, buttery notes to the wine.

Lees Stirring

Aging Chardonnay on lees (yeast deposits) enhances texture and adds complexity.

100% Chardonnay Sparkling Wines
