Description
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in small containers. Gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification by natural sedimentation precede the alcoholic fermentation, of which 50% takes place in stainless steel tanks and 50% in big oak barrels. The wine ages for 6 months on the fine lees and only a part of it undergoes a malolactic fermentation. Before the wine is released on the market a further bottle ageing takes place.
Tasting notes & food matching
The grape variety Chardonnay is becoming increasingly important in Girlan. Poor clayey soils, low yields and gentle vinification bring a lot of freshness, good structure and its unique character of origin into the glass. Regarding food pairing Marna Chardonnay is versatile and goes well with vegetarian starters, several fish dishes and also white meat.
Critic Acclaim
90 points, Wine Enthusiast
This Chardonnay greets you with aromas of fresh apples, slightly creamy and inviting, hinting at a touch of vanilla. On the palate, those creamy apples continue, mingling with notes of ripe pear and a whisper of lemon zest. The wine is rounded with good acidity, balancing the richness. It finishes with a tart lemon candy snap, leaving a zesty and refreshing impression. — Jeff Porter
