Planeta Chardonnay 2004

Bin No. PLANCHAR04

Price: £17.50

The grapes for the Planeta chardonnay were harvested during the first half of August, the individual parcels were selected for their ripeness and various levels of acidity and sugar in order to facilitate a complex wine.
After de-stemming and crushing, the juice was left overnight to settle whilst being chilled and cold macerated for 8-12 hours. It was then innoculated with pure yeast strains and transferred to 225 litre oak barrels (one half of which are new and the remaining half are one year old) to ferment for 15 days at around 20 degrees C.
The wine was aged in 225 litre Allier oak barrels for 10 months before bottling in the second half of July.
The final wine is golden yellow with a bright, greenish hue. The nose is very intense and fruity with a bouquet of citrus, lime and peach. On the palate it is dry and elegant with a good balance of fresh acidity and integrated oak characters.
