Marchiori Chardonnay

Primary fermentation with native and selected yeasts; spontaneous malolactic fermentation in barrel; 12 months sur-lie aging, 50% new French oak. Bottled unfined.

Marchiori Estate. Located at an altitude of 3,270 feet (1,000 meters), vines are trained to vertical shoot positing with traditional furrow irrigation. Vine age less than 25 years. Deep clay and sandy loam; underlayment of medium-sized alluvial rocks and stones.

Brilliant yellow with green tones. The nose boasts aromas of white flowers, pineapple, with hints of hazelnut and cinnamon. The full-bodied mouthfeel is rich in texture, balanced by high acidity. These elements integrate and evolve on a complex and persistent finish.
