Adelsheim Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2021 750ml

The perfect introduction to the Willamette Valley and Oregon Chardonnay. Comprised of fruit from multiple vineyards throughout the northern Willamette Valley, this wine welcomes you to the Valley. “I love the layered aromas of fresh apple, jasmine, meadowfoam honey, and delicate baking spice. This wine has vibrancy and verve, and finishes with a refreshing sensibility.” -Gina Hennen, Winemaker

Most of the wine (87%) was fermented and aged in French oak barrels to complete primary fermentation and was left to age in barrel for 11 months. The remainder (13%) stayed in stainless steel tanks. Once these components were blended together they aged in tank for another 5 months prior to bottling.

All of the grapes for this wine were handpicked and gently whole cluster pressed. After the juice settled it was racked to its fermentation vessel, at which point fermentation commenced.
