Production Details The first vines planted on Bartinney, were Chardonnay, planted in 1990. Each batch is picked when we believe they are fully ripe. The picked grapes are crushed, the juice is settled for 2 days, and then transferred to 225L oak barrels. The barrel blend is up to 34% new. The toasting is very light (blond), and the wood grain extra tight, to avoid overly toast and smoke characteristics which will mask the wines fruit flavour. After fermentation, a portion of the wine goes through spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine matures for about 11 months in barrel before it is racked, blended and bottled.
