Able clone. The basis of this wine is the synergy between alcoholic and carbonic fermentation. Carbonic fermentation (think Beaujolias) achieves the lifted aromas of maraschino cherry, clove. The synergy creates a lovely silky, supple texture. 10% foot crush, 20% destemmed, 70% whole bunch. Basket pressed. Bottled February 2023.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
