Big Table Farm “Wild Bee” Chardonnay Willamette 2023

Oregon has the potential to produce world-class Chardonnay, and this is a fantastic example. Barrel fermented in French oak, mostly used but some new.  Fermented with whatever yeast blows in the door, minimal sulphur added letting the wine show its elegant, zippy finesse. There’s great depth of flavor and balance between the creamy palate, aromas of peach, apricot, white pepper, and white flowers, fresh acidity, and a mouthwatering yeasty crispness.
