Private Bin Chardonnay 2018 - Villa Maria

The Private Bin Chardonnay from Villa Maria is a pure grape variety, smooth white wine from the New Zealand wine-growing region Gisborne on the North Island.

In the glass this wine shines in a shining golden yellow with shimmering green highlights. The fresh bouquet reveals fruity aromas of ripe pears, juicy peaches and fresh, subtle notes of citrus blossoms. On the palate this New Zealand white wine convinces with a powerful structure, full-bodied body and a wonderfully smooth texture. The aromatic fruit refreshes and is supported by very well integrated oak wood notes. The middle finish is fresh and floral with fruity notes.

Vinification of Villa Maria Chardonnay Private Bin

The fully ripe Chardonnay grapes are harvested on the North Island in Gisborne and immediately brought to the wine cellar of Villa Maria. There the berries are gently ground and pressed and clarified with a cold sedimentation. The must then ferments in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures. Then part of this white wine undergoes biological acid decomposition. The remaining part is aged on the fine yeast with stirring of the yeast storage (bâtonnage).
