Tasting Notes

00 Wines EGW Chardonnay 2023

"The 2023 00 Wines EGW Chardonnay begins with a pale ivory tone and opens into aromas of crushed river stones, bergamot, and early spring pear, all lifted by a faint hint of chamomile. As the wine unfolds, a gentle creaminess stretches across the palate, carrying flavors of baked quince and preserved lemon that gather richness without ever feeling heavy. A sleek line of acidity flows underneath, shaping the wine with clarity and giving each sip a refreshing drive. Subtle notes of hazelnut skin and airy vanilla bean glide in near the finish, weaving themselves into the wine’s naturally vibrant profile. The texture shifts between silk and tension, creating a layered sense of movement that deepens as it evolves in the glass. Highly recommended." 97 Points, Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

"This wine blends clones and appellations, with Dijon clones from the Eola-Amity Hills and Old Wente Chardonnay from the very old vine site, Chehalem Mountain Vineyard. It has a reductive and smoky aromatic profile with flashes of fresh-cut lemon, chipped flint, and seaspray. There's a vibrance to this Chardonnay, yet it carries weight in the texture with flavours of salted lemon wedge, lifted citrus zest, and a salty oyster brine that carries through the finish. It's fresh and zesty." 96 Points, Clive Pursehouse, Decanter
