| Tasting Notes |
|
The nose exhibits light yeasty characters with peach and citrus aromas. The balanced palate shows a blend of peach/citrus chardonnay components followed by the light berry fruits of the pinot noir. The mouth filling mousse completes the palate that is full and persistent. |
| Winemakers Notes |
The fruit was gently pressed with low litres per tonne extraction. The resultant juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks before undergoing a full malolactic fermentation.
|
| Viticulture Notes |
There was cool weather during the flowering/fruit set period ofDecember resulting in lower yields than normal because of the bunchweights. There were very good ripening months in February and
March which allowed the lower crops to reach their optimum sugar levels with good strong flavour profiles.
The grapes were picked at optimum fruit ripeness to obtain delicate fruit flavours and particular attention was placed on a good acid/sugar balance of the fruit.
The wine was treated by traditional methods, ie no sulphur was added so subtle oxidation occurred (the reverse of methods used for treating our table wines) yet one can still pick out the strong Marlborough fruit characters. |
