Alexana Chardonnay (75cl, 13.5%)

Alexana Chardonnay is a 100% Chardonnay from the Dundee Hills in Willamette Valley, Oregon, bottled at approximately 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The grapes are double hand sorted and whole cluster pressed, then fermented over 21 to 28 days before ageing for 10 months in stainless steel and oak. The nose offers ripe stone fruit, melon, Meyer lemon zest, toasted oak, cinnamon and a hint of butter. The palate brings crisp apple, lime, ripe mango, melon and lemon zest, with richness from partial malolactic influence. The finish is generous and long, with butterscotch, gentle toast, lingering stone fruit and oak spice.
