Korak Chardonnay Sur Lie 0.75l

From the slopes of Plešivica comes Chardonnay sur lie. Fermentation and aging of wine takes place in barrique barrels. Maturation on the residue takes 12 months, with stirring and lifting the residue in barrels every week. After a year in barrique barrels, the wine matures for another year in large wooden barrels. The wine is bottled without filtering and using SO2, and before being put on the market it is aged in bottles for another 6 months. It is an old Burgundian method that has been applied to Chardonnay in the Korak winery for many years. The aroma of sur lie is complex, dominated by delicate hazelnuts and pistachios, followed by a variety of fruit and varietal aromas, from ripe melons and figs, through butter to smoky notes. The taste is very rich, slightly spicy, perfectly balanced acids and lasts a very long time
