Martin Ray "Dutton Ranch" Concrete Chardonnay 2021, 750ml
A true representation of cool-climate Chardonnay, this wine offers ripe fruit with incredible concentration, framed by intense acidity and minerality.
100% Chardonnay from Dutton Ranch and Two Rock Vineyard. Planted to Goldridge fine sandy loam, this vineyard possesses the rare combination of excellent soil, old vines, and ideal cool climate.
Gently whole cluster pressed, wine is then racked 24 hours later into concrete eggs. Fermented at 13°C, with only native yeast fermentation, no malolactic, aged on the lees for 6 months.
Tasting Note:
Layers of Jonagold apple and Bartlett pear with touches of honeycomb and quince. Bright, with notes of fresh squeezed lemon and refreshing acidity throughout, and a weighty midpalate. Hints of citrus and bergamot over a clean, linear finish.
