Roc Breïa Chardonnay 2023 folle-blanche The wine has a plushness

The wine has a plushness of berries finishing long and dry with savoury notes and freshness of acidity

the land is made of high limestone-based cliffs and dry soils over which the “Tramontane” wind blows

but without the overt scaffold of charry oak in many a Kiwi pinot noir

focussing on lifted aromatics and purity of flavours

Bright light crimson in colour

Roc Breïa Chardonnay 2023 folle-blanche The wine has a plushnessThe village of Bray lies in the north of the Mconnais. Its the zone that also includes Cruzille and Verz and is one of the cooler, later ripening areas of the Mconnais. The Roc Brea vines face west, and its windy, so there is little disease pressure. The Chardonnay is drawn from vines planted in the mid 1940s and mid 70s. In the cellar, the winemaking is simple. The Chardonnay is whole bunch pressed, and the wine ferments in used 500 litre barrels.
