The One Terroir release is not just a single soil type expression set, it is a set of wines that have the complexity and power to cellar long term. They are an investment, they can be drunk young but their full potential will come with 5+ years of cellaring. They are from only the best soil types on the family Granton estate vineyard at lower yields. Specific barrels are chosen for each cuvee and natural winemaking techniques are pushed further to enhance the full potential of their terroirs.
2023 One Terroir Chardonnay is a single parcel off a slightly more silty gravel over brown/red washed out clay lower on the estate hill. The chardonnay struggles in this soil type and the natural acidity is always high hence why I use full malolactic fermentation on all my chardonnays. This pick gets more time at the press with slightly more pressings, some phenolics are to be expected but I have increased the oak percentage (with my favourite barrels) to balance it, so the overall wine is structured and powerful but with restraint, from the acid line. It is great now but will continue to get better and more silky with 5 years in the bottle. From certified biodynamic vineyards.
