The 2007 Chardonnay was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, matured in French oak barriques for 11 months on its lees. It has a well defined, slightly introspective nose but with good definition. Crisp on the entry with more yeasty, leesy elements coming through on the mid-palate, lending it character and poise. Touches of tropical fruit towards the finish where judicious use of oak lends it great clarity. Very fine.
Michael Seresin's estate in Marlborough continues to go from strength to strength, exploring new techniques to apply biodynamic principles that are zealously pursued. This year, they have some intriguing micro-production Pinot Noirs that reach new heights of quality, if alas not quantity.
