MURSA Chardonnay 2019 MARO Wine

Extractive, lemon-yellow colours with a dense swirl and slowly slipping tears. Refined scents express lemon, pineapple, mango, honey pear and yellow apple, with hints of yellow rose and Mediterranean herbs. The taste is soft and rounded, with a noticeable warmth. Pronounced acidity washes the palate and presents a mineral imprint of the wine. An intense, rather full and elegant wine with a long-lasting, particularly fruity aftertaste.

Wine-growing district
Štajerska Slovenija, wine-growing subdistrict Ljutomersko-Ormoške gorice, wine-growing location Stanovščak.

Terroir
The vineyard is located on the south-eastern slope of Strezetina, at an altitude of 300 m. The continental cold winters, sunny summers with cool nights, and the weathered hillside with its clay/loamy sandy subsoil offer the best possible conditions for the vineyards cultivated in single guyot.

Winemaking
Hand-picked, softly de-stemmed, matured for 7 months in an inox barrel and bottled early May 2020.

Perfect serving temperature: 8–12 °C

Pairing with food: Mursa Chardonnay is the perfect accompaniment to cheeses with a noble mould, dishes with sweeter sauces, cheese rolled dumplings. Asian dishes can be perfectly paired with Mursa Chardonnay, as the harmonious balance of sugar and acid in the wine unobtrusively accompanies the sweeter flavours of the food. A glass of Mursa Chardonnay can be enjoyed as an aperitif or after dessert.
