2010 Huia Blanc de Blancs
100% Chardonnay from Marlborough's excellent 2010 vintage. The grapes were handpicked and whole bunch-pressed. The juice was then racked off to barrels for fermentation. A warm, fast ferment was encouraged. The base wines underwent full malolactic fermentation and were aged on gross lees in old French oak. The secondary yeast fermentation was conducted in the bottle and the wine was aged on the yeast lees for 65 months. The bottles were hand riddled over a five-week period before disgorging at the winery on the 16th, 17th and 18th August 2016. The 2010 Huia Blanc de Blancs displays a super-fine bead and good bubble retention. The nose shows fresh citrus and lovely fresh baked bread characters. Light citrus and peach fruit retain freshness on the palate. This wine has a creamy fresh dry finish.
