• Elegant Californian Blend: The Clos du Bois Classics Chardonnay seamlessly marries the vibrancy of Californian fruit with refined winemaking techniques. • Sophisticated Winemaking Craft: This Chardonnay is a masterpiece of winemaking, beginning with cool, gentle pressing to preserve the integrity of the fruit's flavors. |
| Vinification | The grapes were harvested cool and gently pressed at the winery in order to preserve the Chardonnay’s pure fruit flavors. After settling, the juice was partially barrel fermented in a combination of French and American oak, with the remaining juice undergoing fermentation in stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation was then induced to soften the wine’s acidity and impart a smooth mouthfeel. To encourage maximum flavor development, the wine was aged in the barrel sur lie for six months, with the lees stirred monthly prior to bottling. |
