Marques de Casa Concha Chardonnay White

Explore Cloudy Bay Chardonnay White, a wine that epitomizes balance and harmony. Sourced from the stony soils of Wairau Valley and the dense clay of the Southern Valleys, this Chardonnay blends ripe stone fruit with distinctive citrusy elegance. Key vineyards include Barracks, Motukawa, Estate, Mustang, and Brook Street. The grapes are hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed, using a traditional method that maintains the wine’s freshness and vibrancy. The resulting juice ferments in barrels with wild yeasts, adding complexity and texture. The wine matures for 11 months, with malolactic fermentation selectively used to achieve perfect balance. On the nose, the wine is open and expressive, featuring notes of stone fruit, orchard blossoms, and subtle crème pâtissière and hazelnut. The palate is taut and vibrant, with mouthwatering citrus freshness framing a core of conference pear and white nectarine. A touch of well-integrated toasty oak merges with layers of savory texture, leading into a long and elegant finish. This Chardonnay naturally pairs with a variety of dishes, but is particularly suited to seafood and either bright or creamy flavors.

After harvesting, the free juice was cooled for 48-72 hours prior to storage. The fermentation was carried out mainly in stainless steel tanks with a mixture of cultured yeast and wild yeast. Approximately 3% of the blend was fermented at the highest temperature in old French oak barrels and large format vats. As usual, our Sauvignon was strictly mixed, including only the strongest batches. A vibrant blend of kaffir lemon, lemon zest and aromatic nectarine blend with the brilliant scent of orange blossom. Filled with ripe citrus and flavors of stone fruits framed by an elegant and succulent acidic architecture. Contains Sulfites.

Chablis is an isolated island of vineyards in the northern section of Burgundy, wine-growing halfway between Dijon and Paris. Despite its huge acreage and production, the Chablis area now produces less than 5% of what it did a hundred years ago. Lower yields and better winemaking practices have made this wine a perennial favorite.
