His passion for winemaking and his respect for the environment are evident in every bottle.

    Vinification and aging

    The vinification of Greywacke's Chardonnays is carried out with great care. The grapes are hand-harvested and then gently pressed to preserve the integrity of the berries. The juice is fermented in oak barrels, where it ages on its lees, imparting complexity and roundness to the wine. Malolactic fermentation is often encouraged, adding a creamy dimension to the aromatic profile. This artisanal method captures the essence of the terroir while offering a balanced, rich, and elegant wine.
