- 100% Amphora fermented - an exploration and celebration of our Moutere Clays. Amphora Chardonnay plays with exquisite tension. Tension between fruit concentration & rockpool minerality. It's between an intriguing flint and weighty mouthfeel. Tension in the balance of power & agility. Tension in its shape, both curvaceous and driven. However, this wine is in no way tense. It is graceful, flowing, balletic, genteel, confident and free. Unshackled by traditional expectations of chardonnay – the result is a contemporary, delicious wine for the Chardonnay obsessed or, equally, the Chardonnay averse (apparently, that’s possible). An atypical, energetic and captivating Chardonnay
Grapes are pressed on a gentle cycle followed by 24-48 hour settling. Fermentation is made using 100% wild yeast with a high solid proportion in clay amphorae for 10 months on full lees with monthly battonage until completion of natural malolactic (100%), followed by 2 months on fine lees in stainless steel tank
