Marada Chardonnay

Aromatic Skin-Contact Gewürztraminer from Moravia

An intensely aromatic orange wine from Petra Marada, showcasing the expressive character of Gewürztraminer amplified through extended skin contact. This natural wine was macerated on skins for three weeks and aged for eight months in acacia barrel, creating a textural, perfumed expression of western Moravian terroir.

The Producer

Petra Marada is a pioneering first-generation winemaker in western Moravia, near the Slovakian border. Renowned for exceptional skin contact wines and traditional method sparklers, Petra's wines reflect a deep commitment to natural winemaking and terroir expression.

Tasting Notes

The three-week skin maceration intensifies Gewürztraminer's signature aromatics. Expect heady aromas and flavours of honeysuckle, rose petals, lychee and dried mango, balanced by a light tannic grip from the skins and the subtle influence of acacia barrel aging.
