Vinification of Châteauneuf du Pape Chardonnay

The Châteauneuf du Pape Chardonnay is cultivated in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Rhône region, specifically in the famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape growing area. Here the Chardonnay grapes find ideal growing conditions: warm days and cool nights promote even ripening of the berries. The grapes are harvested by hand at the optimal degree of ripeness in order to ensure the full aromatic expression and the perfect sugar-acid ratio. The selected grapes are then gently pressed to obtain only the best juice for vinification. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the fresh fruit aromas and floral nuances.

Maturation also takes place in stainless steel tanks, which ensures a clear, fresh white wine with a lively character. In some batches the wine is aged in neutral barrels to integrate a subtle wood note without masking the typical varietal aromas. The gentle maturation guarantees the elegant balance between ripeness and freshness that makes the Châteauneuf du Pape Chardonnay an outstanding representative of Rhône white wines.
