Ripple Effect is Jeremy and Cata's family project on one hectare of dried farmed hillside in Marlborough. Jeremy has a day job with a big commercial winery but these wines are a million miles from that. Otherside is a brilliant carbonic maceration Chardonnay. The berries complete the first part of fermentation in anerobic conditions, meaning that the fermentation occurs within the each berry. This produces unique flavours - lychee and lovely florals as well as the peach more commonly associated with Chardonnay. There's no oak but plenty of weight from the fruit and a real energy in the wine.
