NV | Shea Wine Cellars Chardonnay | Willamette Valley

This Chardonnay is crafted using hand-harvested grapes fermented with native yeasts and aged in a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel. The approach preserves fruit purity while adding richness and complexity. The wine reflects the region's cool climate with an emphasis on freshness, texture, and beautiful balance. Tasting notes include peaches, baked apples, apricots, smoked almonds, and praline, finishing full-bodied and nutty with a fresh, layered texture. The winery follows organic and sustainable farming practices with a small-lot, minimal-intervention philosophy.
