Winemaking
As soon as the Chardonnay is at the peak of its ripeness, the different classic vine types are harvested. The particular thing about the vinification is the joint pressing of the grapes and fermenting them in French barriques. Following fermentation, they are then stirred weekly for 3 months (battonage). Following 10 months of maturing in barriques, the wine is stored for at least 6 months in bottles.
Our tasting note
A brilliant and intensive yellow characterises the white cuvée wine Beyond the Clouds. This wine has a nose of exotic fruits, as well as a soft richness in combination with fantastic freshness. A fantastically delicious cuvée with good ripening potential. Perfect barrique maturing, without dominating the subtle fruit aromas.
