Moment of Silence 2009
The wine is stylistically the same as the 2007 vintage, but differs in the way the wine was matured. We used older barrels in order to get less wood extraction and integrated complexity. This ensures a weighty wine without obstructing the ability of the wine to express fruit. A crisp, clean wine with umph! The StoryThis is the official release of the new Moment of Silence 2009 – a spectacular blend of three noble white wine cultivars: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Viognier. Since the release of Moment of Silence 2007, I’ve had numerous requests to repeat the blend (it turned out to be one of BLANKbottle’s best sellers). I subsequently secured the vineyards and worked with their team for the last two years in order to repeat the blend and...here it is!
