100% Chardonnay
Statera Cellars is owned and operated by two friends, Meredith Bell and Luke Wylde. Their mission is to make delicious, honest Chardonnay from the most distinct vineyards in their region. They are the first winery in the Willamette Valley to exclusively make Chardonnay—they love the grape and want to showcase its potential and diversity in the Pacific Northwest. Their wines are made using natural and traditional winemaking practices, resulting in wines that are compelling and markedly alive.
This wine is made from 15 yr old Willamette grapes, sees whole cluster pressing and spontaneous fermentation. Aged on the lees in neutral French oak for 16 months. This Chardonnay screams lemon with juniper and basil, apricot, hints of green apple, orange zest and a bit of biscuit. On the palate more apple, with lemon oil, hazelnut, and herby salt. Bursting with acidity, and texturally creamy.
