Description:
Our Chardonel is usually at optimal sugar, acid and pH levels in early September, around Labor Day. At that time, we pick the grapes by hand, place them in 25-pound picking lugs, transfer them to 1500-pound bins, haul them to the winery and crush them within a few hours of picking. We use only the free-run juice that comes from the press with minimal pressure- this is the highest quality juice- to make Bethlehem Valley wine. Following a 6-month fermentation and aging process, the wine matures in the bottle for another 6 months before it is released. Aging in the French oak barrel creates aromas and flavors with soft wood tones and buttery, fresh fruit notes.
