TASTING NOTE: "Rich and redolent with a forward aromatic profile that features grilled pineapple, candied lemon peel and crushed chalk. The palate is ripe and rounded—flavours of poached pear, spiced apple cake and a pinch of nutmeg."
89 Points - Clive Pursehouse, Decanter - ABOUT THE WINE: The Pike Road Willamette Valley Chardonnay is sourced from three local vineyards, hand-picked, and then gently pressed. A portion of the wine is barrel fermented and aged in large French oak barrels for 8 months (10% new). The remaining is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Both portions go through malolactic fermentation to help soften the acidity and provide an elegant texture.
