Delheim Sur Lie Chardonnay showcases a light vibrant golden colour with citrus and stone fruit on the nose and subtle oak spice. The palate is well balanced with a medium bodied structure with the creamy notes from the oak not overpowering the elegant fruit ending on a fresh acidity note.
Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. Fermented in French Oak barrels, a combination of 500l and 225l - 15% new wood. Wine left on its lees for nine months, before blending and bottling.
