2013 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
*notes are from original release in 2015.
The 2013 Sigrid Chardonnay is white gold in color with the slightest green tint denoting youthfulness and protection. The aromas of banana candies, pear, green melon, hazelnut, ginger custard, wet stones and lemongrass leap from the glass in a swirl of fantastic complexity. In the mouth this wine is a departure from its rich aromatic profile as it is a prime example of lush austerity. Lemon and citrus pith lead the way with green apple, quince and a creamy leesy texture that envelopes the juicy and succulent youthful structure into a complete and utterly thrilling package that will drink well young and age for 10 or more years. Drink 2015 - 2025+. Alcohol: 13.5%
