2023 Sogno Unoaked Chardonnay

The 2023 Sogno, Unoaked Chardonnay was harvested when the flavours were fully developed and the acidity was just right, and whole cluster pressed the grapes our gentle bladder press. It was cold settled after pressing and then racked into stainless steel for a slow fermentation at cool temperatures, to enhance aromatics and preserve fruitiness. The alcoholic fermentation was encouraged to go dry and was aged on it its primary lees. We did pump-overs to keep the lees in suspension and add mid-palate texture and creaminess. No Malolactic fermentation to keep freshness and fruitiness to the wine. Sogno was then protein stabilized, cold stabilized and filtered before bottling
