The Story

Der Name MelBURY stammt von einem eindrucksvollen anwesen in den Hängen nördlich des lake Kennessey in den Hügeln östlich von Rutherford. Der Name Melbury wurde zu ehren eines historischen Bezirks in london gewählt, wo Gutsbesitzer den Großteil des Jahres verbringen. Seit seiner Einführung mit der 1999 Lese sind die beständigen Kennzeichen des Melbury seine plumpen roten Früchte (Beeren, Bing-Kirschen), sein würziges Aroma und der Geruch von Veilchen gewesen. Dieser Wein definiert sich durch seine Eleganz und raffinierte Konsistenz. Das gesamte, sich über 7 Morgen steinigen Hügel hinziehende Weingut ist gen Süden ausgerichtet, so dass die Trauben die Morgensonne genießen können und auch gleichzeitig nicht so heißen Nachmittagstemperaturen ausgesetzt sind.

BODeN: alter Sedimentboden mit komprimiertem lehm, Ost und -Südostlage. HÖHE: 348 - 522 Fuß (ca. 106 - 159 m)

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and has by the neck level. Colour is ruby red, and looking healthy, bright and deep. On the nose it is wide, refined, opulent and seductive. The taste is focused, elegant, refined, medium-bodied, with balanced, good texture, concentrated and complex structure. The finish is medium long, extensive, pure and spicy. This wine is sophisticated, intelligent and fine. I paid around 500-1k€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least 2h before tasting. Good value for money.

Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least over 4h before tasting.
