Te Pa The Reserve Collection St. Leonard's Chardonnay 2017 (750ml) Sparkling91 Points from James Suckling After hand harvesting and gentle pressing, the juice is fermented in barrel and goes through full malolactic fermentation. A selection of the six best barrels (1 3 of which were new) was made for this premium reserve wine. This wine was left in barrel for a month before being racked to tank for settling over the following vintage. Three months later the wine was racked and bottled, without fining or filtration.
