WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Oyster Bay Chardonnay truly captures the character of Marlborough with pure, incisive, ripe fruit flavors. A combination of barrel and tank fermentation, the stirring of yeast lees and a portion of malolactic fermentation achieves maximum softness, integration and texture.
Clonal influences in the vineyard are very important, providing smaller berries and enhanced flavor intensity. The result is the delicious Oyster Bay Marlborough Chardonnay with concentrated aromas and flavors of ripe citrus and stone fruit, balanced with subtle oak, and a creamy texture to finish.
A sublime expression of fruit purity from Marlborough’s unique cool climate and soils.
