Candid Wines | Pressing and Fermenting Chardonnay

Once the Chardonnay is in barrel, it will be stacked in the corner, in this case behind the
fermenting tanks, and left to quietly develop. Fred likes the wine to sit on its lees, the
combination of dead yeast cells and solids from the grapes which, when properly managed,
provide the wine with added structure and depth.

Interested in a taste of Helfer Vineyard Chardonnay? We might still have a bit of the
current vintage in stock. Please visit one of our retailers and ask them to place a special
order. Follow this link for a list of places to buy Candid Wines.

Cheers, and thanks for your interest!
