2021 Barrel Select Chardonnay
*** Enter the Description of this product
A wonderful fruit foward and balanced wine with pleasant acidity. Aromas of apples in the glass lead to warm apple tart and apricots lingering on the palate.
This wine would be best paired with dishes that have cream based sauces or a vegetable risotto. Or, look to compliment a decadent cheese platter or even a rich cheesecake!
The berries were lightly pressed and made in our desired style of a Cote-De-Beaune wine. Only two barrels were selected for this wine: one lightly toasted new French oak, the other selection was a neutral barrel. Both barrels in the 2021 vintage were from Fennwood vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton AVA.
The Vintage:
2021 was a warm and dry vintage, cooling near the end to allow slow and even ripening with fruit concentration and high sugars while retaining a fresh acidity.
