Vinification of the Old Vines Chardonnay by Rudolf May

The grapes for the Old Vines Chardonnay by Rudolf May come from old vines growing on calcareous soils, imparting a distinctive mineral character to the wine. The carefully selected harvest is hand-picked to process only the finest and ripest berries. The grapes are gently pressed to preserve the freshness and purity of the aromas.

The vinification is carried out traditionally in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, ensuring the fruity notes are optimally retained. A portion of the wine is matured in high-quality French barriques. There, the Chardonnay ages for several months and gains its characteristic creaminess and a delicate vanilla aroma through malolactic fermentation. The slow aging in wood adds complexity and depth to the wine.

Through this combination of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship, an elegant, powerful wine is created that impressively reflects the qualities of the old vines.
