The north-facing hillside

A superb example of Bolgheri Superiore

Over half of the wine was left to soak on skins for a further 16 days post fermentation

Roc Breïa Chardonnay 2023 Size::6 Bottle Case The north-facing hillsideThe village of Bray lies in the north of the Mconnais. Its the zone that also includes Cruzille and Verz and is one of the cooler, later ripening areas of the Mconnais. The Roc Brea vines face west, and its windy, so there is little disease pressure. The Chardonnay is drawn from vines planted in the mid 1940s and mid 70s. In the cellar, the winemaking is simple. The Chardonnay is whole bunch pressed, and the wine ferments in used 500 litre barrels.
