Groth Chardonnay 2007 750ML
sku: 9607
Vintage:
Early bud break, bloom and set suggested a very early year for wine
grapes. Temperatures resulted in early maturation of whites at lower
sugars than we have seen in the past few vintages. Quality was high,
yields were low. 2007 was a stunning vintage which gave us wonderful
wine showing gobs of intensity and complexity.
Harvest: Our Chardonnay is made entirely from grapes grown in our
Oakville and Hillview Vineyards. The cooler Hillview vineyard provides
the tropical fruit, citrus and mineral notes that complement food
nicely. Grapes from the warmer Oakville vineyards give our Chardonnay
its distinctive green apple character.
Winemaking: All of the 2007 Chardonnay fruit was whole cluster pressed.
After pressing and cold settling, the juice was transferred to French
oak barrels, 30% of which were new, for fermentation and aging. After
eight months of aging "sur lie", the wine was racked off the yeast
lees, blended and finished for bottling.
Wine
Maker's Notes: Long, cool fermentation in a mixture of old and new
barrels gives our Chardonnay layers of fruitiness and complexity that
result in a wine that is very enjoyable when young or after several
years of bottle age. This method of fermentation, in conjunction with
whole cluster pressing and "sur lie" aging add layers of toastiness and
creaminess to the wine. Together these components meld together
harmoniously to create a balanced wine that is both lively and rich in
aroma and flavor.more
