This wine is a blend of grapes from prestigious vineyards like Freedom Hill, Durant, and the winery's own estate. The winemakers craft complexity by fermenting the juice in various vessels, including stainless steel tanks for bright fruit character, neutral oak puncheons for subtle spice, and even concrete for a touch of minerality. Limited malolactic fermentation preserves the grapes' natural acidity and pure fruit flavors, resulting in a lively and refreshing wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Lange Chardonnay Classique is an excellent example of a classic Chardonnay.On the nose, notes of ripe peach, spice, honey, and lemon zest come through. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced with a creamy texture and a hint of oak. The flavors of tropical fruit and honey linger on the finish. Overall, this is an enjoyable and elegant Chardonnay.
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.
