Winemaker's Comments

The Serafino Chardonnay is a 60:40 blend of oak and stainless steel matured
wine. The oak component is made up of 20% new French oak hogshead (300L) barrels
and the 60% is a selection of matured 2 -3 year old barrels. A small number of
barrels go through natural secondary malolactic fermentation. The remaining
barrels are kept separate to capture the freshness of the fruit.

The remaining Chardonnay is matured in a stainless steel tank for 12 months on
full yeast lees (with no sulphur ever added). During the 12 months period, the
wine is tasted weekly and the tank mixed regularly. The final blend was
completed after a 12 month period.
