"Once the whole bunches had been pressed, the vat-fermented Lindaflor Chardonnay 2017 was vinified and aged in barrels, 30% of which were new. the wine was aged in barrels for 12 months on lees, with bâtonnage. Slightly woody and spicy, it comes from a single parcel planted in 2004 and still used for this wine. The wood is well integrated and it has a creamy texture while retaining freshness and intense flavors. A clean, upright wine." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker) A very fine white cuvée!

About the wine:
Once the whole bunches had been pressed, the vat-fermented Lindaflor Chardonnay 2017 was vinified and aged in barrels, 30% of which were new. The wine was kept in barrels for 12 months on the lees, with stirring. Slightly oaky and spicy, it comes from a specific plot planted in 2004 and still used for this wine. The oak is well integrated - much less obvious than today's wines - and it has a creamy texture while retaining freshness and intense flavors. Clean and straightforward.
