- liter oak vats. The actual refinement lasts 23 months in 2500
- liter oak barrels with an additional 4
- month rest in glass.
- The Chardonnay Opoka wine has a golden color, bordering on amber. Great richness and definition, which is expressed in hints of melted butter, hazelnut, honey and dried fruit. The refinement in wood brings a light toasting, which completes the olfactory picture.
