2007 Chardonnay (750ml) -- Wolffer Estate Vineyard Shopping Cart
$18.00
Region
Long Island, New York. Produced and bottled in Sagaponack, New York. Under Winemaker/Technical Director Roman Roth's meticulous care, Wölffer Estate Vineyard encompasses 55 acres and practices sustainable agriculture. Similar in many respects to conditions in Bordeaux, the local Bridgehampton loam soil, combined with the breeze from the Atlantic, only 2.6 miles away, provides the perfect conditions to achieve the ripeness and acidity necessary for producing Wölffer's signature style: European elegance combined with the typicity of their Long Island terroir.
Grapes
100% Chardonnay
Style/Taste
The goal with this wine--made from 5 different chardonnay lots handled individually--was to combine vibrancy and freshness with rich, ripe fruit characters.
Shiny golden color. The glass is filled with lush pears, peaches and sun-dried apricots. The mouth-feel offers a wonderful creaminess, well balanced by vibrant acidity and mineral characters. The lively finish brings fine lees, hints of toasted oak and fresh lime notes. This perfect food wine shows why Chardonnay is such a great variety. -Roman Roth, Winemaker/Technical Director
Technical Data
After an ideal growing season, the lush and perfectly ripened grapes were hand picked October 17th through October 30th. The grapes were gently handled and pressed. Then the juice was chilled to 50° and well settled, followed by fermentation in 24% French Barriques (25% new oak), 6% neutral French Puncheons (500 Liter barrels) and 70% stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation completed 30% and the wine matured sur lees for 7.5 months, with very little bâtonage (stirring of the yeast). The 5 lots were blended in May. The wine was bottled mid- August, 2008, producing 2,861 cases.
