The grapes were pressed and the juice only briefly settled so that the fermentation contained some grape solids, adding complexity and texture in the resulting wine. The juice was inoculated with a selected yeast strain, then transferred to a mixture of seasoned American and French oak barriques for fermentation and ageing. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was left on lees for three months with regular stirring, prior to ageing for a total of nine months. Barrels were hand selected for this blend, the wine removed from oak, filtered and bottled, with no fining or adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWine Analysis\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Analysis:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol: 13.0 % v\/v\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTitratable Acidity: 5.6g\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResidual Sugar: 0.92 g\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epH: 3.41\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Match\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Food Match Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA perfect accompaniment for crispy-skinned tender baked chicken drumsticks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVegan friendly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes PDF\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/2024_Saint_Clair_James_Sinclair_Chardonnay.pdf?v=1775689542\" title=\"james-sinclair-chardonnay-2024\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 170, 255);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eClick here to open the 2024 James Sinclair Chardonnay tasting note as a PDF\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrevious Vintages Tasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/2023_Saint_Clair_James_Sinclair_Chardonnay.pdf?v=1775689765\" title=\"james-sinclair-chardonnay-2023\"\u003e 2023\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/2020_Saint_Clair_James_Sinclair_Chardonnay_b2b28bd7-012c-41d1-8cc0-2c82cc3e34ca.pdf?v=1724375713\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2020\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/2019-Saint-Clair-James-Sinclair-Chardonnay.pdf?v=1628308418\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2019\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/2018-Saint-Clair-James-Sinclair-Chardonnay.pdf?v=1628308418\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2018\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/2017-Saint-Clair-James-Sinclair-Chardonnay-1.pdf?v=1628308418\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2017\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/2016-James-Sinclair-Chardonnay.pdf?v=1628308418\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2016\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/2015-James-Sinclair-Chardonnay.pdf?v=1628308418\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2015\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/2014-Saint-Clair-James-Sinclair-Chardonnay.pdf?v=1628308418\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2014\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 Points, Silver - New World Wine Awards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e93 Points, 5 Stars - Wine Orbit \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Stars - Cuisine Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elegant and complex with flavours of ripe stone fruit and vanilla spice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41481942401243,"sku":"SC 24 CHR JS 12","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/2855\/6471\/files\/SaintClair-JamesSinglairChardonnay2024website.jpg?v=1775688410","url":"https:\/\/saintclair.co.nz\/products\/james-sinclair-chardonnay-2024","provider":"Saint Clair Family Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
