Close menu

The Tokara Reserve Collection Chardonnay flows into the glass of lively delicate straw color, from which emerge seductive aromas of lemon cream, honeysuckle, oatmeal and toasted brioche. This highly awarded Chardonnay makes a bold and ripe attack on the palate, tantalizing the senses with delicious nuances of fine citrus and lime zest that transition into a creamy palate with subtle notes of toasted almonds. There is a subtle saline focus throughout and a delightful sense of freshness. A wine of restrained power and stunning finesse!

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were partly destemmed, crushed and pressed overnight for settling in stainless steel tanks and partly pressed after a night in cold storage on the whole bunch with a night of rest and then settling. Only the free-run juice from the best blocks is used for the Reserve Collection Chardonnay. The juice from the destemmed portion was then skimmed and added to the barrel for fermentation with the addition of selected yeast cultures. Once fermentation was complete, the wine spent nine months on the lees with regular agitation of the lees (batonnage). Barrels of 50 were left to malolactic fermentation. The barrels were all made of narrow-grained French oak (41% new wood, the rest second- and third-filled wood).
