Malivoire 2005 Moira Chardonnay
A lot of love and care goes into every bottle of Malivoire wine … sure that sounds very Hallmarky, but what else can you say about a wine that receives weekly lees stirring for 8 months (somehow it reminds of that old Dunkin’ Donuts commercial where the guy wakes up every morning and says “I gotta go make the donuts”) … it’s total length of time in barrel is 12 months; so for ¾ of that time it is ceremoniously stirred to unleash flavours like vanilla, melon and tropical fruits – and that’s just what you’ll find in the nose. But it’s the mouth that has all the fun here: buttery soft, vanilla, surprisingly subtle hints of oak, where you’d expect it to be overpowering; there’s even an interesting bite on the sides of the tongue – could be the 14% alcohol, or it could be your tongue screaming out for more, maybe you should listen. Price: $36.80
