The flow on effect of that on flowering conditions meant fewer and smaller bunches than normal, but with settled and warm weather as we moved into the early new year, we were able to use water from our own reservoirs to ensure healthy canopies, and that we kept the fruit ripening through to harvest. Anticipating an early harvest due to the warm temperatures and low yields, the dry end to the season saw minimal disease pressure. We were able to leave the fruit on the vines allowing it to reach optimum levels of ripeness before picking.

Once picked, the fruit was transported to the winery, sent across the sorting table then transferred as whole bunches to the\u003cbr\u003epress. The juice was gently squeezed and settled for 12 hours in tank then transferred to barrel for 100% natural (wild) fermentation. The barrel configuration was a mix of new, 1 year old then older French barriques. Post fermentation, the barrels were stirred fortnightly for two months then left to sit over winter then they naturally went through malolactic fermentation in the spring. Blending took place in January and bottled in March.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATURATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermented and aged for 11 months in a combination of new and old oak. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINE ANALYSIS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAlc Vol: 14.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAcidity (TA): 7.03 g\/L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003epH: 3.34\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eResidual Sugar: 1.73 g\/L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tiki Wine","offers":[{"title":"6 Pack","offer_id":43997279617107,"sku":"SVNCCH24","price":150.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/6471\/9699\/files\/Tiki_SV_CH_no_vintage.png?v=1776640834"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.tikiwine.com\/collections\/chardonnay\/north-canterbury.oembed","provider":"Tiki Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
