This wine is made in the "Black Chardonnay" method; pre-press crush with 12 hour skin contact, heavy long pressing with no sulfites added to the juice, short settling before going into barrel, ambient yeast fermentation, minimal intervention, no batonnage, minimal pre-bottling sulfites, minimal filtering / fining. A barrel selection blend of Hyland, Anahata, Bunker Hill, and Chehalem Mountain Vineyard, the EGW "Extra Good White" is a complex, bright, yet silky expression of 100% Willamette Valley Chardonnay.
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS - "The 2018 Chardonnay EGW comes from both Eola-Amity Hills and Chehalem Mountain fruit. The nose has a toasty, flinty perfume, with notions of salted almonds, beeswax and white blossoms. The medium-bodied palate is silky and gently textural, with bright juiciness and slowly expanding savory flavors, and it finishes long and minerally. 338 cases produced."
