2021 Alexana "Terroir Series" Chardonnay, Oregon, USA

ABOUT THIS WINE:

The 2021 "Terroir Series" Chardonnay is sourced from the estate’s vineyards in the Dundee Hills of Oregon, a region known for its volcanic soils and cool-climate growing conditions. The grapes were hand-harvested, then gently pressed and fermented in a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel to maintain the fruit’s freshness while imparting depth. The wine aged for 12 months on its lees, which adds richness and texture, while preserving its signature minerality and acidity. It was bottled in early 2023 and is a perfect representation of the terroir of Oregon’s iconic Chardonnay-producing region.
