Both grape growing and wine making have elements of beauty and chaos embedded within. A natural progression was to embrace a little more chaos and beauty within these two related cultures. Therefore the name Beautiful Chaos seemed appropriate for these wines. They are different from any other wines we make. Despite this, they are very much a part of our evolving culture.’ Organic and Biodynamic Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans - Michael Seresin Tasting Notes A wholly pure aromatic blend of Pinot Gris and Riesling, knitting together perfectly the lush fruit and simplicity of Pinot Gris with the steely focus of Riesling, in a form that is free from any winemaking intervention. Time on skins and then aging in amphora has guided the style to show a firm phenolic structure yet has a strong element of elegance, clarity and balance. Winemaking Two individual parcels of Pinot Gris and Riesling were hand picked, destemmed and fermented separately in amphora, utilising native yeasts. After 21 days on skins, gently plunging by hand once a day, both parcels were pressed and returned to amphora for aging for three months, where the parcels completed malolactic fermentation naturally on lees. Both amphorae were then racked to a small stainless steel vessel to blend for three weeks, prior to bottling. It was bottled without any stabilisation, fining or filtration, only with a minimal sulphur addition just before bottling. Vintage The season commenced with a stunningly dry winter, ensuring no interruptions to our pruning and enabling an early budburst across the board. Spring is remembered for strong winds, and, although the fine weather remained in general, a few significant rain events kept the soil moisture levels decent and the vine growth fresh. The conditions over the whole vintage period were extremely favourable, textbook Marlborough in fact, with warm days and cool nights. We commenced harvest early on March 8th for our Beautiful Chaos Pinot Noir, and continued slowly yet rigorously, until our final pick, for Beautiful Chaos Syrah, on April 8th. […]
