Wine Range

Meerlust Chardonnay

First vintage produced in 1995.

Hand harvested. After pressing, juice was settled overnight and racked with some fine solids to the fermentation vessel. A mix of 30% new, 33% second fill and 32% third fill 300 L barrels are used, and this vintage sees the first introduction of 5% fermented in concrete tank. Fermentation is either with selected yeast or through natural spontaneous fermentation. The wine is matured until it reaches the desired mouth feel and complexity. After removing the wine from barrel, it undergoes a light fining before bottling.
