The valley, situated in Stellenbosch, benefits from a unique microclimate characterized by cool temperatures, thanks to its elevation, ocean breezes, and encircling mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Chardonnay grapes were picked by hand in the early hours of the morning from cool  climate vineyards. Bunches were sorted by hand and whole bunch pressed in a pneumatic press on a gentle Champagne cycle. The juice was settled  overnight and then racked to 228L French oak barrels for spontaneous fermentation. Wild yeast was used to ferment this wine. Partial Malolactic conversion was done on some of the batches. The wine was matured for 10 months in  barrel and was gently fined and filtered before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Oldenburg Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54837268283768,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0490\/2354\/9604\/files\/8E536595-7092-4A3E-A8AA-F57247C41C6C.jpg?v=1783678267","url":"https:\/\/www.harrogatefinewinecompany.com\/products\/2024-oldenburg-vineyard-chardonnay-stellenbosch","provider":"Harrogate Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
