WINE DESCRIPTION

Alexana Signature Chardonnay, hailing from the picturesque Willamette Valley in the USA, is a testament to the artistry of Oregon winemaking. Crafted by Alexana Winery, this Chardonnay captures the essence of the region's terroir. The vineyards boast diverse soils and a climate that imparts a unique character to the grapes. The winemaking process involves meticulous care, with hand-harvested grapes fermented and aged in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a harmonious blend of citrus and orchard fruit flavors, with a subtle touch of oak, creating a Chardonnay that is both vibrant and elegantly structured. This signature offering exemplifies the Alexana commitment to producing top-tier wines in the heart of the Willamette Valley.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Alexana Signature Chardonnay is a delightful and elegant white wine.On the nose, this Chardonnay offers a complex bouquet of aromas, including ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of citrus and vanilla. These aromas are complemented by subtle notes of toasted oak and a touch of butter, adding depth and complexity to the wine. On the palate, the Alexana Signature Chardonnay showcases a beautiful balance between richness and freshness. The ripe fruit flavors continue to shine, with flavors of pineapple, peach, and lemon zest taking center stage. The wine has a creamy texture, thanks to its partial malolactic fermentation and aging in oak barrels, which also contribute to the subtle notes of vanilla and butter. The acidity is vibrant, providing a refreshing and lively mouthfeel. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of tropical fruits and a touch of minerality. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a balanced and elegant white wine with a touch of richness. Enjoy it with grilled seafood, roasted chicken, or creamy pasta dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Alexana

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
