2022 Estate Grown Chardonnay

Made entirely from hand-picked fruit, the wine consists 64% of chardonnay from the Moira Vineyard and 6% chardonnay from the Mottiar Vineyard, and 30% of chardonnay musque from the Malivoire Estate site, selected to contribute aromatics to the final product.  All sites taken together, the average age of the vines was 24 years.

Destemmed grapes were pressed, 70% of the juice underwent primary and partial malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, while the remainder vinified in neutral French oak barrels.  After 11 months, the portions were combined and bottled in August 2023.

An excellent companion for a wide variety of foods including with grilled salmon or pork chops.  Serve near 10° C.
