Granville Willamette Valley Chardonnay Basalt 2022

Born from a unique Oregon growing season that paired a frosty, low yield spring with a beautifully warm autumn, this single vintage expression showcases the incredible resilience of fruits sourced entirely from organic volcanic soils.Winemaker Jackson Holstein aged the wine for eleven months on the lees in French oak barrels with fifteen percent new wood, utilizing light stirring and partial malolactic fermentation to balance natural structural tension with a richer texture.Critic reviews celebrate its distinct aromatic presence, pointing to notes of wet stone, fresh pear, and starfruit on the nose.The palate opens into a viscous, satisfying mouthfeel that displays a delightful brininess alongside secondary layers of citrus creme fraiche and a clean, mineral driven finish.
