And barrel fermentation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eBecause here's the thing: malolactic fermentation is not the enemy. It's what turns sharp, green apple acidity into something rounder, something softer, something that feels like a blanket instead of a slap. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eThis might be the Chardonnay that reconciles you with your inner creamy, toasty Chardonnay lover. It comes from the Beamsville Bench, where the soil is rich in limestone. Hand-picked, pressed whole cluster, wild fermented. Aged for 16 months in a mix of stainless steel and French oak puncheons (500-litre barrels, bigger than usual, so less oak intensity). Full malolactic fermentation. Bottled unfiltered right in The Farm cellar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eThe result is vibrant, with a chalky minerality that cuts through the richness. The wild ferment gives it layered notes of pear, lemon, honey, stone fruit. Creamy but not heavy. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e Somewhere in between the stainless steel exclusivity and the vanilla bombs that make us cry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003ePair it with chicken.
