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

Anticipating a warm growing season, we pruned the vines very late in order to delay budbreak. This allowed the vineyard to ripen later in the season, in the cooler part of fall. Regardless, this wine is proudly a product of the vintage as the skins were extremely thick, resulting in more structure and power than usual.

This primal Melbury has aromas of fresh cassis coupled with baking spices. It is classically spherical on the palate, with minerality manifesting itself as a salty sweetness along the edges of the tongue. The tannins are dense, imposing more muscle than softness at this early date. The 2013 still possesses classic Melbury charm, with a velvet-textured finish that is fine and powder-like.
