Martin Ray "Concrete" Chardonnay 2023, 750ml

Fruit from Russian River Valley

100% Chardonnay, fermented and aged exclusively in concrete eggs. Gently whole cluster pressed, cold-settled for two days, with only native yeast fermentation. The wine is then racked into vessels and aged on the lees for 6 months aging.

Tasting Note:

Aromas of Granny Smith apple, Bartlett pear, and lemon pith with hints of ginger. Juicy citrus throughout, with underripe pineapple, and a subtle salinity that carries. Round and full, with ample acidity, and a linear core that cuts through layers of fruit.
