Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay.
Characteristics: From this internationally acclaimed variety of grape we have produced a wine of real individuality. Planted in 1984, the vines produce small bunches of grapes, the sugar levels of which balance the acidity well. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks and, after filtration, half of the wine is refined in small oak barrels for 6-8 months. One year after the vintage, the two wines are blended before bottling. In this way an outstanding Chardonnay is obtained that conserves the characteristics of the vine together with the refinement and pronounced aromas which come from ageing in the wood.
Drinking/Storage: The qualities of Perantonie are best appreciated within two years. If you wish to store it for more than one year then we suggest that you place the bottle horizontally in a cool, dark, dry place. It should be served at 12-14°C. Consume within three days of opening.
