00 Wines Chehalem Mountain Chardonnay 2024 (750ml)

Chardonnay grown with biodynamic methods in sedimentary soil, from a vineyard facing Ribbon Ridge to the east.

Production in Bottles: 2028 Bottles

Appellation: Chehalem Mountains

Sourced from Chardonnay grown with biodynamic methods in sedimentary soil. The Chehalem Mountain Vineyard faces Ribbon Ridge to the east and shares the Ribbon Ridge AVA soil characteristics. Flavors reminiscent of Puligny-Montrachet in Burgundy.

Made by the "Black Chardonnay Method": pre-press foot crush and overnight skin contact, followed by a long press cycle for maximum phenolic extraction. No sulfites are added to the press pan and the juice goes immediately into barrel, 100% new. Twelve months in barrel on the lees with no bâtonnage, then six months finished in stainless steel on the fine lees.

Widely regarded as a classic and exceptional vintage, the 2024 growing season saw a slightly wetter than average start. This gave way to a warm summer, then a cooler fall full of crisp nights, allowing the grapes to ripen gently. This vintage for 00 Wines finds the perfect balance of body and elegance.
