Blank Canvas, Reed Chardonnay Size:6x750ml weight and density while managingFull bottle 1,421 g. From the Waihopai Valley. Clone 95. The Chardonnay was whole bunch pressed with only the very cloudy free run juice going into new (40%) and used French oak puncheons (500 litre). No sulphur was added so a spontaneous fermentation started, which didn't wholly finish until the following January. It underwent natural malolactic conversion in the spring. No lees stirring. Bottled without filtration and with a very low total SO2 of 36
