2010 Mahonia Chardonnay
Regular price $42.00
This single vineyard Chardonnay from the Willamette Valley, south of Eola-Amity Hills AVA, north of Salem, expresses a clear sense of place from 20-year old vines. While free of disease pressures often associated with a cool, wet growing season such as 2010, this Chardonnay yielded an extraordinarily low crop of just under 1 ton per acre in a difficult growing season that suffered heavy losses by an onslaught of birds. A broad clonal selection, native yeast fermentation, plus long aging in neutral French oak delivers balance and depth of character in a classic Chardonnay that is both crisp and round.
