Sticks Chardonnay 2005

WINEMAKING The fruit was gently destemmed, crushed then pressed. The juice was cold settled, racked, then fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to maximise fruit expression. Towards the end of fermentation, the wine was transferred to new and seasoned American and French oak barriques for aging on light lees. It was then fined and bottled.
