Tasting note
The 2021 VGW Chardonnay should suggest lemon, green apple and pear, with a faint floral lift. Willamette Valley fruit is expected to feel precise and lightly rounded, acidity drawing a bright line through its supple texture. Its peak years extend from 2024 to 2027, within a drinking range that ends in 2030. A dry, clean finish should leave citrus peel and orchard fruit, followed by a subtle mineral trace.
