Charles Wiffen Chardonnay

The Charles Wiffen Chardonnay is grown in the Wiffen’s Omaka Vineyard.  It is exclusively planted with the Mendoza cone, known for its tight acidity and powerful mouthfeel.  The vineyard is cane pruned, with a targeted 8 tonnes per hectare crop load.  Machine picked in the cool of the morning, it is then transported to a winery, were is it gently destemmed and pressed.  Post clarification the juice is then transported to a winery in Auckland for fermentation and ageing.
