Gold, which was first released in 2005, represents Jayson Woodbridge’s quixotic quest to bring the freshest white wine possible to the marketplace. In a creative wine industry first, Woodbridge bottles and releases Gold twice a year: The wine released in July is made from Southern Hemisphere (Australia) grapes, while the wine released in November comes from Northern Hemisphere (California) grapes. Made entirely of un-oaked, non-malolactic Chardonnay (plus a few other aromatic white varietals for aromatics) the wine has been exposed to subfreezing temperatures to preserve mouth feel and aromatics. The stylistically identical wines receive a dosage of pure 24 karat gold before going into a breathtaking modern clear French glass bottle that has been fired with a pure 24 karat gold label. “The restless Jayson Woodbridge always has something in the works. This year it was his white blend with flakes of gold…” —Rated 90 from Steve Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar |
