LEMELSON CHARDONNAY 2021, Willamette Valley, OR

This Chardonnay is composed of fruit from two of Lemelson's organic, estate vineyards that span two AVAs (Yamhill-Carlton AVA & Chehalem Mountains AVA), two different soil types (sedimentary Willakenzie & volcanic) and two different elevations. With an abundance of bright fruit aromatics, this wine was fermented in French oak and undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation to build richness. The nose comes alive with notes of green apple, caramel, lemon & vanilla and has fun unances of mandarin orange and toasted marshmallow. Texturally, the wine is surprisingly rich with excellent acidity making it a great food wine.
