Gloria Ferrer Carneros Chardonnay California
Description: The grapes were hand harvested in the last three weeks of September from our 335-acre Carneros estate vineyard. Due to the region's meager soils and cooling afternoon winds, Carneros has become synonymous with the production of superb Chardonnay. With a warm growing season and a cool fall, the 2001 vintage will be remembered for its fast pace and an ideal, cool finish that yielded perfectly ripe, aromatic wines. This Chardonnay defies convention, blending elements of richness, bright fruit and substantial natural acidity into one splendid wine. DESCRIPTION Ripe pineapple and mango aromas are intermingled with citrus blossom and toffee elements in the bouquet. Explosive tropical, citrus and toast flavors are enveloped in a textural richness, which is beautifully offset by the wine's ample acidity. WINEMAKING • 100% Estate fruit • Whole cluster pressed to minimize extraction of bitter compounds • 100% barrel fermented • Partial malolactic fermentation balances the wine and contributes richness and complexity to the blend, while maintaining lively natural acidity • Battonage was performed every three weeks for six months to contribute richness to the palate (6 x 75 cl)

The vineyards producing Pouilly-Fuissé occupy those sites where the limestone occurs in combination with heavy clays. Grape variety : 100 % Chardonnay Tasting notes : The wine shows a green-gold colour which reflects its 'finesse' and distinction. Seductive wine with delicate aromas on the nose. The nature of the soil is conductive to the harmonious development of its fragrance, with floral, mineral, citrus fruits notes and a hint of hazelnuts and toasted almonds. A generous wine, full of flavour. (6 x 75 cl)
