Tasting Notes
STRATUM 2003 CHARDONNAY
Winemakers Notes
The fruit, harvested in excellent condition, was sourced from selected vineyard sites in Marlborough.
The grapes were gently pressed and the juice was barrel fermented and aged on lees for three months. Following a light fining and filtration the wine was bottled.
A youthful chardonnay displaying pear and pineapple aromas on the nose. The palate is rich and round with a long lingering finish. A wine to be enjoyed over the next two years.
