Scribe Skin Fermented Chardonnay 2015
Carneros, Napa Valley, California, United StatesFrom Carneros' loam and volcanic tuff soils, this is Scribe's chardonnay in the distinctive squat bottle (to differentiate from their chardy not on skins). The singular wine and packaging is the result of was an experiment trialled when the winery's 809 clone grapes weren't behaving ideally. This was native fermented on the skins for three months in concrete, adding stony grip and herbal texture to the fine, bright and precise citrus and green apple fruit. An oxidative note swings throughout, adding additional interest. Certainly not your typical Cali chardy (and that's a very good thing).Tasted: 25 August 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $63.00 | 750ml | LCBO |
