2023 Walter Scott X Novo Vineyard Chardonnay, Eola-Amity Hills, USA
$110.00
Dry-farmed, high-elevation site on volcanic basalt with marine sediment overlay. Organically farmed, whole-cluster pressed, native yeast fermentation in oak (mostly neutral), full malo, aged ~12 months on lees without bâtonnage. The 2023 is taut and mineral—lemon oil, crushed stone, and Eola wind tension. Benchmark Willamette Chardonnay with Burgundian precision.
