Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak (around 25% new), it reflects a Burgundy-inspired approach adapted to Oregon’s cool-climate terroir, combining precision, texture and age-worthy structure. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe nose is highly expressive and layered, showing citrus blossom, lemon curd and quince, complemented by notes of baked apple, wet stone and subtle brioche. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e There is a clear mineral edge with hints of fresh rain, toasted nuts and delicate spice adding depth and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"509\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a refined, linear structure and vibrant acidity. Flavours of lemon zest, green apple and stone fruit are supported by a chalky mineral backbone and gentle oak influence, leading to a long, precise and energetic finish. The style is elegant yet powerful, defined by tension, purity and a strong sense of place. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1673\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the standout premium New World Chardonnays and a great alternative to white Burgundy.
