Winderlea Vineyard & Winery – Chardonnay 2018 πŸ‡βœ¨
Willamette Valley, Oregon – USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

This isn’t just any Chardonnay β€” it’s one of the finest I’ve tasted from this region in years πŸ™Œ. Terroir-driven and crafted from a brilliant vineyard blend: Carabella in Chehalem Mountains (35%), Hyland & Meredith Mitchell in McMinnville (33% & 23%), and Winderlea Estate in Dundee Hills (9%). This mosaic of sites brings perfect harmony and depth to the glass.

Style: Burgundian elegance with an Oregon soul 🌿.
Flavor: Rich, succulent mouthfeel layered with peach πŸ‘, apricot 🍯, bright apple 🍏, and a gentle whisper of toast.

Mouthfeel: Well-structured & balanced β€” complex yet endlessly drinkable. Even now, at 2018, it still beams with lively acidity ⚑ and a creamy, enticing finish.

πŸ’° a bit pricier for the region, but every sip confirms it’s worth it.
Cheers to Oregon brilliance! πŸ₯‚
