The Story
100% Chardonnay grown on small organic vineyards in Languedoc-Roussillon, France
uncomplicated - zesty - tropical
Chaotic Chardonnay, is uncomplicated and unpretentious...just refreshing and versatile.
This is 100% unoaked chardonnay, which shows aromas of lemon zest and green apple alongside tropical and stone fruit notes of pineapple and white peaches. The palate is dry, clean, and pure, with a lingering crisp minerality on the finish.
Grapes are destemmed, pressed, and cold-settled for 24 hours. Once cold settling is complete, the Chardonnay is racked and cold fermented in stainless steel tanks. Temperature slowly increases towards the end of fermentation to bring out as much flavour and aromas as possible. After fermenting has finished, the wine is racked off lees and aged in stainless steel tanks until bottling.
Res Fortes, the brainchild of Moritz Bak, who after extensive training in some of the best vineyards in the world set up his own venture in the heart of the South of France. Moritz had a vision of bold flavours, yet terroir driven so the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Roussillon was the perfect place to select to mature his vines. This combination of place, climate & attention to detail results in exceptional wines, throw into the mix the most elegant bottles and you have the wines we absolutely love.
