Two Rivers Clos des Pierres Chardonnay 2020

Bright lemon in colour, the bouquet offers aromas of toasted pine nuts and citrus mingled with flinty characters. On the palate the wine is bright and focused, opening up to layers of lemon butter and white peach, over minerals and toasted oak. The artisan winemaking approach has resulted in a classic and elegant chardonnay, with a gravely texture, great acid backbone and a long, pure finish.

Predominately from 26 year old vines, the fruit for this wine was hand harvested from two Marlborough sites - The Spring Vineyard in the Wairau Valley and Brookby Hill Vineyard in the Southern valleys.

Lightly whole bunch pressed and naturally fermented. Full malolactic fermentation occurred. In pursuit of the highest quality, we have not fined or filtered this wine. As a result a harmless residue may remain.

Aged for 11 months in a 4,500L French oak cuve and a concrete egg tank.
