Pied Stilt Chardonnay
Pied Stilt Vineyard is located on an ancient riverbed system, 3km from the coast of Motueka. The soil profile consists of 50% river gravels, within a dark loamy soil. Vines are planted at a 2m spacing and 2 cane VSP system is used.
Heavy leaf plucking allowed berries full exposure to the sun, giving them a deep golden yellow skin and ripeness that we were pleased with. We knew something special would come out of these grapes at harvest as the flavours were amazing.
A strong fruit driven style, consisting of ripe grapefruit and peach flavours with very subtle French oak influences
25 % of batch was fermented in New Burgundy oak barrels (medium toast). This batch Underwent partial malolactic fermentation (50%). This was then mixed with 75% unoaked chardonnay with no MLF.
