Domaine de la Zouina | "Epicuria" Chardonnay

Very dry, low rainfall. Stony and clay/limestone mix with a south east exposition. 

To maximise the efficiency of the vines the work in the vineyard is meticulous. 4000 vines per hectare at 812m high eliminate stress hydrique and canopy management achieves the best aeration for the vines and reduces the need for phytosanitary products. Quality is further enhanced by voluntary small yields, a green harvest at the beginning of summer and various tris which discard the grapes which do not merit being in the final blend.
