00 Wines VGW 2022 Review
Oregon’s 00 Wines takes a unique approach to Chardonnay. Founder Chris Hermann implements the controversial Black Chardonnay method, exposing the grape must to oxygen early in the process to avoid unwanted oxygenation later on. The winery’s VGW (“Very Good White”) bottling represents fruit sourced from across the Willamette Valley, aged for 12 months in barrel on the lees followed by 6 months in stainless steel. This wine offers layer after layer of complexity, jumping from rich and nutty to zesty citrus character in one harmonious sip. A distinct, must-try Oregon Chardonnay experience.
