Amani Kamili Chardonnay/Viognier 2010

Name: Amani Kamili Chardonnay/Viognier 2010
Brand: Kamili
SKU: 32650

The Amani Kamili 2010 is a fusion of Chardonnay and Viognier grapes grown on Amani Vineyards. The Kamili 2010 shows lovely peach skin flavours that are fused with lime, coriander and leesy fullness. Palate entrance shows a milky fullness that is refreshed by lime fruit. This wine has good concentration of fruit which is balanced by the fresh mid-palate acidity, good oak usage and a sweet mid-palate. The wine lingers with a peach skin express on the after palate.

Serve very chilled.

about the harvest: Hand picked at 22.5 - 23°B from 11 and 14 year old Chardonnay vines.
Hand picked at 25°B from 7 year old Viognier vines.

in the cellar : Both the Chardonnay and Viognier grapes were bunch sorted and whole bunch pressed for minimum phenolic extraction. On the Chardonnay 40% of the juice was cold settled overnight while the other 60% was taken directly to barrel after pressing. The Viognier was settled for 4 hours then transferred to barrel. The Chardonnay portion relies on only natural acid. Viognier was inoculated after the spontaneous ferment kicked in to benefit from both styles of ferments.

Maturation: The wine spent 9 months on lees with 9 % in new French oak and 21% in second fill barrels.
