Dujac In California The Murphy family has gone all in on making Presqu’ile the premier property of Santa Maria Valley. Born in 2007, Presqu’ile began to hit its stride with the 2016 and 2017 vintage. Assisted by Jeremy Seysses of Domaine Dujac, Matt Murphy, Anna Murphy and winemaker Dieter Cronje have honed in on what makes this 200 acre vineyard unique and world class. "This is another strong set of wines from Presqu'ile, a winery that continues to make important strides in both quality and consistency. ... The team led by winemaker Dieter Cronje and consulting winemaker Jeremy Seysses of Domaine Dujac is doing brilliant work." –Antonio Galloni, Vinous With a passion for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the Murphys have embraced the bounty and sunshine of California, while employing a Burgundian approach to the wines. Taking inspiration from their peers in the region, Domaine de la Cote, Tyler and Au Bon Climat for instance, Presqu’ile has invested and studied intensely their unique collection of vineyard parcels. This effort has culminated in refining the wines, adopting a more gentle approach and style that is kissed by a minimal use of whole cluster. The result are wines of energy and depth that leap from the glass, showcasing the bounty and intensity of Santa Maria, while not making wines that are overtly rich and dark. More importantly, savory and stony have become the key defining elements of the Presqu’ile Chardonnays that have become some of the best buys in the region. Not to mention stars within the winery’s lineup. These are the wines that are grabbing our attention when tasting the range and getting us excited about this partnership between the Murphy and Seysses families. These are wines designed for the table, to be present with food. They are aromatically complex and are wines that evolve in the glass, unveiling nuances of perfume and spring gardens. They are captivating and the Chardonnays are vibrant and complex. Quantities are limited, but this is the perfect chance to introduce yourself to what is poised to be one of the hottest names in the years to come for Santa Maria Chardonnay. Cheers, |
