Massey Dacta Marlborough Chardonnay 2017
- Subtle oak
- Lemon pith
- Ripe white peach
- Citrus notes
Pale yellow straw colour in the glass. Ripe white peach notes along with a hint of malo is nicely balanced by a just a line of lemon pith and citrus notes. Juicy and crisp palate with good mouthfeel and a hint of oak.
The 2017 Marlborough summer was one that provided some farming challenges and the tractor was in and out of the shed often to maximise the best harvest dates of the vintage.
The Chardonnay was the most resistant and picked early. Really came to the fore once it was relaxing in barrel.
The Glover Family’s vineyard is located in the Dillons Point sub region, of Marlborough. Only 3km from the sea, along the banks of the Opawa River. The soils are fertile, Kiapoi silt loam. But more importantly, is the whitebait running past the front door along with crayfish and paua a short ride on the Massey Ferguson 135 tractor down the road.
Wendy and Owen Glover ran a dairy farm on Dillons Point Road, Marlborough. It was a fourth-generation dairy farm, and that’s how it was. Their four children along with Owen and Wendy, were always found milking, feeding out, shifting the electric fence, but it was the 4am starts that finally did it, the kids just didn’t want to get up! So Owen decided to sell the heard and use the land for something else.The first grapes went in the ground, the spring of 1988 and the kids went from pulling teats to titivating young vines, a backbreaking job, but at least they got to sleep in! Eldest son Ben went off to winemaking school and earned his stripes, with always a dream to return to the family farm and the Ferguson tractor.
Food Pairing: Food match Seafood, oysters, chicken risotto.
