In cooler areas, however, gave the delayed maturity especially the white varieties are a good natural acidity, elegance and finesse. To preserve these juicy freshness and perfect acidity-sweetness balance of the grapes for the fruit-driven chardonnay, they are read in the early morning hours when the winery immediately pressed and the musts about 20 days fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. As its name suggests, the "Unoaked" Chardonnay with no oak contact is purely built in stainless steel tanks.
