2009 Aeolia is now 97% Roussanne & 3% Marsanne from the Warner vineyard and is totally barrel fermented with about 10% new oak. 2009 vintage is very similar to 2008 which we believe was probably one of the best Aeolias' to date. However the addition of the small amount of marsanne has added another dimension. Aeolia was the ancient name for the coastal region of Northwestern Asia Minor (now Turkey). It was made up of a group of cities founded by the Aeolians c.1100 BC.
$75 per bottle (Screwcap) - includes GST.
2008 Aeolia - a small quantity is available $75 per bottle (Screwcap) - includes GST
2009 Nantua 'Les Deux' Chardonnay is a blend of 93% Chardonnay and 7% Roussanne.
This year all of the chardonnay from the Estate Vineyard at Giaconda is included in this blend with the balance of chardonnay and roussanne from the Warner vineyard. Again totally barrel fermented with about 30% new oak. It is an impressive wine and excellent value as it includes the Estate Vineyard chardonnay. It is the only chardonnay from 2009. Nantua 'Les Deux' was first produced in 2000 and the name drew inspiration from the two swans that appear on the label and the two varieties from which it is made.
$42 per bottle (Screwcap) - includes GST
