Producentens noter (engelsk): Winemaking: The juice was barrel-fermented in a selection of 228 litre Burgundy-shaped French oak barrels (41% new, 53% second-fill and 6% third fill Nevers and Burgundian oak barrels from selected French cooperages). The wine was matured “sur lie” in the barrel for 9 months with occasional rolling of the barrels to accentuate the leesy character. 13% tank-fermented Chardonnay was blended with the barrel-wine to ensure well-balanced citrus flavours. Both the tank and barrel-fermented Chardonnay underwent malolactic fermentation
