Selection Massale Chardonnay
A rich, textural Chardonnay that's absolutely food-friendly. Full of sweet lemon curd and key lime on the palate, with aromas of vanilla, toasted chestnut and sea spray on the finish. Intense, citrusy, and creamy thanks to the lees contact and gentle oak influence.
Manual harvest grapes are taken from three different organic vineyards. Pressed directly into French Oak. Wild fermentation and matured in the same vessel with time spent on lees. Full malolactic fermentation, unfined and unfiltered.
Selection Massale is run by Dan Gillett, founder of New Zealand's foremost organic and natural wine distribution company, Wine Diamonds. Started in 2022, with fruit sourced from various organic vineyards across New Zealand and Australia, Dan set out to produce consistently delicious, well made, organic wines that best represent variety, region, and vineyard. “Selection Massale” is the French term used to describe the traditional method of vineyard propagation and involves selecting particular vines within an established vineyard and using this as the genetic stock to plant a new one. Before the widespread use of single clone planting, it was not uncommon for considerable genetic diversity to exist within an old vineyard. Protecting this diversity is the reason that the process continues today. All vineyards have a unique character, and thus Selection Massale was born; a selection of unique wines
from unique vineyards from around New Zealand and Australia.
