The 2021 Bergström Sigrid Chardonnay Magnum (1500ml) is an exceptional estate Chardonnay from Oregon's Willamette Valley, crafted from a selection of Bergström's finest vineyard parcels. The 2021 vintage displays elegant aromas of white peach, lemon curd and ripe pear, layered with citrus blossom, toasted hazelnut, subtle oak and flinty mineral notes. Bottled in magnum format, this larger bottle allows the wine to mature more slowly, enhancing its complexity and longevity over time.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with bright natural acidity and a creamy, beautifully textured mouthfeel. Flavours of stone fruit, Meyer lemon and crisp apple are complemented by notes of brioche, roasted almonds and delicate minerality, leading to a long, refined finish with remarkable balance and precision. The combination of richness and freshness makes this a superb expression of cool-climate Chardonnay.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an outstanding choice for Chardonnay collectors and enthusiasts looking for a cellar-worthy wine with exceptional ageing potential. It pairs beautifully with grilled lobster, roasted chicken, seared scallops, creamy mushroom dishes or roast pork with apple. Enjoy now after allowing the wine time to open in the glass, or cellar for the next 10–15 years, with the magnum format providing even greater potential for graceful bottle development.
