Marc de Chardonnay Barrique
How is it made?
• Collecting pressed grapes (= pomace/skins, Afrikaans doppe) from Springfield’s (Wild Yeast) Chardonnay (directly from the press into our fermentation tanks, avoiding any contamination)
• Fermentation of grape skins (via attached fruit sugar) over a period of 2 – 3 weeks
• Slow & careful double distillation with our combined pot/column still (same distillation as unoaked Marc)
• 2 years maturation in 2nd filled Chardonnay oak barrels
• Gradual dilution with water over a period of 3 – 4 months to bottling strength.
How does it taste?
Gentle, fragrant aroma with slight oak and Brandy flavours, yet still distinctly Grappa character. Smooth and soft (even oiliness) across the palate with again the distinct Grappa characters. Builds intensity in the mouth then gives very pleasant warming glow on the swallow.
How to enjoy?
• Best enjoyed as Digestif after dinner, either on its own or with an espresso or coffee
• Serve at room temperature
