Orofino Vineyards Announces New Releases Fri, 12 Aug 2011 2010 CHARDONNAY After missing the 2009 vintage, we are happy to say that our chardonnay 2010 is now available! Sorry to make you wait so long.(We had a few harsh emails about the skipped vintage)! The 2010 is definetely our style of wine. It is big, rich and loaded with meyer lemon and tropical flavours. 40% was fermented and aged in barrel and 60% done in stainless steel. No malolactic fermentation took place to retain bright and fresh flavours. The grapes come from Blind Creek Vineyard which is about a 10 minute walk from the winery. We'll happily drink this over the next 5 years. Only 160 cases produced. 2010 CHILL This is a delicious wine that is made from our old muscat and riesling vines. Those of you who snapped up our Late harvest Muscat will want to stock this pretty wine as it shows all of that delicate orange blossom and floral notes we all love from our muscat wines and has a nice fresh lip-smacking finish that goes on and on. The grapes for this wine were picked and pressed in bone-chilling -14 degree temperatures (extreme icewine conditions!). We made 50 cases of 200ml bottles. It is perfect (and affordable) decadence!
