Merchant's description

The Marcassin Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay 1997 is a single-vineyard white wine from a celebrated Californian estate, founded by noted winemaker Helen Turley. Sourced exclusively from their 10-acre vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, this vintage benefits from the cool maritime climate. The grapes undergo whole-cluster pressing and natural fermentation before a lengthy maturation period in new French oak barrels. The wine showcases a profile of green apple, citrus and subtle oak, reflecting the meticulous farming practices and low yields emblematic of the producer’s philosophy.
