Oyster Bay Chardonnay 750ml
Oyster Bay Chardonnay 750ml 1072486*-od
From the famed home of cool climate flavor intensity, Oyster Bay Chardonnay is a delightful breath of fresh air and displays a style of its own. Its assertive and refreshing flavors are captured and partnered with subtle oak bringing a delicate texture to the wine. New Zealand produces world-class Chardonnay and Marlborough is at the heart of it all as the country’s premier grape-growing region. Marlborough’s warm days and cool nights create an extended growing season allowing the grapes to develop strong, intense varietal characteristics while maintaining a balanced, crisp natural acidity. Fragrant white peach, vibrant citrus with lingering lime zest and a creamy texture. Pairs perfectly with full-flavored creamy dishes, seafood, and chicken.
| Technical notes |
| The fruit was destemmed and lightly pressed, with the free run juice clarified to partial clarity, racked into stainless steel fermentation tanks, and inoculated with a pure yeast culture. Part of the ferment was transferred to French oak barriques and allowed a slow temperature-controlled fermentation for several weeks. The barrique-fermented wine was lees stirred regularly and matured for a period of months to achieve maximum softness and retention of varietal flavors. The tank fermented portion was held on yeast lees, stirred, racked, and prepared for final blending. A small portion of malolactic fermentation was undertaken. The resulting wine was then blended and filtered prior to bottling. |
