2023 Morgen Long Black Label Willamette Valley Chardonnay

Producer: Morgen Long Wine Region: Willamette Valley, Oregon Varietal: Chardonnay Year: 2023  
Winemaker Notes: 
“Each lot was crushed into the press, the must browned in steel before a sulfur addition. Ambient pied de cuve encouraged fermentation to engage in steel or French oak on full solids. Fermented in fourth and fifth fill 350L, 400L and 500L French oak puncheons and two stainless drums, primary finished in 20-35 days. Ambient malolactic completed by December 2023 in most of the puncheons, while one 400L puncheon and both stainless drums had scarcely begun malolactic in the spring of 2024 and went to steel without sulfur after one year. This tank has remained unsulfured throughout 2024.” 
Alcohol: 12.7%
