Description

Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc 'Marlborough' 2025Characterized by its vibrant, intense fruit flavors and crisp, refreshing finish. It is a classic representation of the region, featuring a blend from the Awatere and Wairau Valleys. The season featured good flowering, a dry, disease free period leading up to harvest, and cool temperatures in January February, which allowed for a long hang time and enhanced aroma.

This fermented spontaneously with 40% whole clusters

and fermentation occurs during a three-week maceration with occasional pump-overs and no punch-downs

40% of the wine is aged in cuve and 60% in barrels (aged from 2-5 years)

but all are made in the vein of Le Puy’s iconic “Barthélemy”: aging two years in old 228-liter barrels on the gross lees which are stirred in (“dynamized”) regularly

is a selection of Nebbiolo from Clerico’s finest vineyard sites

35 hectares of Chardonnay spread among four parcels in Arbois: Curoulet

the historical basis for the terroir of this specific and special zone of Brunello

this is even finer and more lithe—a reflection of the vineyard’s preponderance of sand—but equally harmonious on the palate

fining and filtration are never employed

Looking more like a dark rosé in the glass

from vines between 55 and 75 years of age
