Plowbuster chardonnay is a classic Willamette Valley chardonnay, emphasizing volcanic terroir and sustainable farming. 100% French oak barrel fermentation, but with only modest new oak influence. A blend of Dijon 76 and Dijon 95 clones. The style is supple, but with crisp finishing acidity. It's a great match with salmon, halibut, and shellfish.
Alcohol: 13.5 pH: 3.26 Acidity: 5.3 g/l
Each lot was racked to French oak barrels, the majority of which were neutral. Lees stirring and cool temperatures during primary fermentation contribute to a silky mouthfeel. All barrels completed malolactic fermentation.
