The Crystallum Ferrum Chardonnay exudes an exciting and inviting bouquet of fragrant quince aromas, lychees, fine lemon cream and delicately peaty hints of smoke. Full-bodied and well-textured on the palate, nuances of honeycomb and aromatic winter melon caress the senses, and notes of lime leaf and lemon thyme add plenty of freshness and complexity. In the finish long-lasting, pithy and immensely delicious!

The grapes were whole bunch pressed without the addition of enzymes or sulfites and the juice was left to rest overnight. The next morning, the juice was poured into the barrel, where spontaneous fermentation began. "Spontaneous" in this context means that fermentation began without the use of commercial yeasts, but exclusively by yeast naturally occurring in the environment and on the fruit. Once fermentation was complete, the wine matured for 10 months in barrels (300 l and 500 l capacity), of which 20% were new wood.
