2011 Sigrid Chardonnay 5L
Sigrid Chardonnay
Willamette Valley AVA
We believe strongly in the power and promise of Oregon Chardonnay. Sigrid Chardonnay is an homage to our Swedish grandmother whose spirit, grace, and strength inspired three generations of Bergström children. After harvesting each of our estate vineyards by hand, we ferment the fruit separately in small French oak barrels, where it undergoes full malolactic fermentation and aging sur lie for 18 months. Only then do we select the finest of these barrels for our Sigrid Chardonnay. In a bottle of Sigrid, you will find the layered textures, mineral structure, fresh citrus and stone-fruit flavors and floral aromas we hope will inspire you to continue following the Oregon renaissance of this noble white grape.
Josh Bergström's Notes
The 2011 Sigrid Chardonnay is our flagship Chardonnay, handcrafted from two of our five estate vineyards: Silice and Gregory Ranch, as well as from two of Oregon’s greatest Chardonnay vineyard sites: Temperance Hill and Anderson Family Vineyard. In classic Sigrid fashion, the aromas burst from the glass revealing orange blossom, ginger, saffron, lemon pound cake, Asian spices, buttered corn and clove-studded citrus fruits. The mouthfeel is broad and unctuous for the vintage with a vibrancy and electric feel which showcases this year’s amazing fresh fruit flavors of lemon, tangerine and lime. It is rich and layered with textures and yet intensely vibrant at the same time. The potential here is great for extended cellaring and enjoyment for 12+ years. Drink Now - 2025+. Alcohol: 13.6%
