{"product_id":"fruit-zone-chardonnay-pet-nat-natural-wine","title":"Fruit Zone Chardonnay 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorachio's Fruit Zone Volleyball is 100% Chardonnay sourced from an organically farmed site in Basket Range, Adelaide Hills. The vineyard sits on a clay-heavy ridge with chunks of ironstone in the soil at roughly 350 metres elevation — a site that, as winemaker Mark Warner notes, has far more in common with the cool hills character of Adelaide Hills than the warmer valley floors below. The grapes are whole-cluster fermented via carbonic maceration in stainless steel with zero forced extraction, then bottled with residual sugar to complete fermentation in bottle — the classic pétillant naturel method. No sulfur is added at any stage; the wine is unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass this is golden-hued with a gentle, persistent bead. The palate is off-dry, with lively acidity keeping the residual sugar in check. Expect tropical fruit — pineapple, golden passionfruit, ripe pear — with a faint salty-mineral edge and a clean, tangy finish. Mark's own tasting shorthand covers it well: tropical juice, pine-lime, and the smell of seaweed on a warm beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a Chardonnay pet nat that skips the heavy yeast-and-bread character typical of the style. The energetic acidity and the fruit-forward, slightly sweet fizz make it a high-drinkability wine that benefits from being served cold. Pour carefully or open gently — there is live sediment in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Borachio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37004552405144,"sku":"BORAFRUI19C","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/borachio-wines-fruit-zone-volleyball-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630818837","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/fruit-zone-chardonnay-pet-nat-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
