The Alchemy 2025 Echoing Cliffs Chardonnay was created from selectively hand-picked fruit, 100% clone 1066, from a single vineyard site in the Tukituki river valley. The fruit was hand picked, foot stomped and soaked for 5 hours prior to whole bunch pressing. The juice was kept for an extended time on juice lees to aid in building complexity and richness in the resulting ferments. The juice was then transferred to French oak barrels for fermentation with a mixture of both wild and inoculated yeasts. The wine was aged on full lees for 9 months, and then blended and aged on light less in tank for a further 5 months before finishing and bottling. With only partial malolactic fermentation and the use of finer, more delicately spiced French Oak (20% new), this wine is a more serious expression of Alchemy Chardonnay, with tension and a saline quality to it. Extremely delicious.
