The Morgen Long Willamette Valley Chardonnay is sourced from 5 different vineyards in the valley: Seven Springs, AlexEli, Loubejac, Durant and Yamhill. The wine was fermented in oak barrels with native yeasts and aged in 25% new French oak and 75% neutral French oak for one year, after which it was blended into stainless steel for a second winter aging on the lees. Lemon curd, bright citrus oils, graham cracker, ginger and yellow apple aromatics mingle with subtle wooden spice and sweet tea. The palate is bone dry and chalky with expansive, rich flavors that follow the nose. Bright acidity buoys the dense and wide mid-palate and stretches the wine out long with a refreshing finish.
