00 Wines Seven Springs Chardonnay 2023 Review
In the old days of the Côte d'Or, vignerons would allow Chardonnay to oxidize to a completely dark, turbid hue. During fermentation, the black oxidized material would leach out through interaction with alcohol, leaving behind a more concentrated structure in the wine. 00 Wines decided to revive this age-old “black Chardonnay” technique in the hills of the Willamette Valley, and the result is an amazing success. This bottling is sourced from the south block of the region’s esteemed Seven Springs Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. The nose opens with subtle wafts of musk, spice, and preserved lemons. The palate is soft, deep, and calm, with a stunning acidity that breaks through its deep, rich fruit core.
