2022 Marimar Estate Don Miguel Vineyard Chardonnay - Albarino Russian River Valley
Tasting Notes: The 40% Albariño adds a fresh, floral character to the Chardonnay, contributing tropical aromas of papaya, peach and pineapple. On the palate the wine is lively, rich and bright, with good acidity and a minerality reminiscent of wet stones — but a bright note of California sunshine. It is an ideal companion for foods such as raw or grilled fish and shellfish, tapas and Asian cuisine. I would recommend serving it at 46°- 48° F.
Vineyard Notes
The Don Miguel Vineyard: Named after the late patriarch of the Torres family, this sustainable vineyard is located in the Green Valley — the coolest, foggiest region of the Russian River Valley, only ten miles from the Pacific. Planted on a southeast-facing slope, in the European-style high density of over 2,000 vines/acre, the yields are low and labor is intensive; but the vines live longer and the grapes acquire better balance and greater concentration, as well as more elegance and finesse.
Production Notes
The Chardonnay grapes were harvested September 1-2 and the Albariño on September 11-13. They were gently whole-cluster pressed and fermented using indigenous yeast. The wine was aged on its lees and bottled in March 2023.
