Winemaker and winery: Jamie Marfell, Montana. Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay. Region: Wairau Valley, Marlborough. Viticulture/Vinification: Extensive shoot and crop thinning both machine and hand leaf-plucking to give the fruit greater exposure to the sun. The grapes were crushed directly into bag-presses without skin contact. Only free-run juice was used and this was fermented at cool temperatures with selected yeasts. This wine is unoaked. 250 stores. Very oaky nose – savoury and lovely. The oak is in balance in the mouth. Clean and refreshing with a little texture, sweet fruit and warm alcohol, but pretty good aftertaste. 13% 02/04/09 |
