Aromas
O Wines Chardonnay has lively, ripe, zesty fruit flavors that make it an ideal accompaniment to a wide range of food.
On the Palate
Crisp, rich, soft. Complex with lemon cream and Graham cracker pie crust on the finish.
Process
This fine wine was fermented primarily in stainless steel in order to preserve fresh fruit aromatics. Oak aging for a portion added toast, spice and a bit of vanilla.
Food Wine Pairing
O Wines Chardonnay has a liveliness and ripe, zesty fruit flavors that make them ideal complements to a wide range of food.
Our wine is the perfect compliment for girl talk (no food) but it is also wonderful with veal, shellfish, crab, salmon, salads, fowl, fish, and chicken.
A typical winter and spring resulted in perfect soil moisture and a healthy start to the growing season. Fruit set was optimal.
Starting cool, the summer warmed up to above average heat accumulation in July and August, cooling down at the beginning of September just as the grapes ripened. A cool dry harvest resulted in high quality across the board for white varieties. Chardonnay quality was excellent.
Wine Advisor, Paul Gregutt Recommends O Wines!
•“I discovered this wine at Taste Washington and was delighted to find a quality chardonnay from the Horse Heaven Hills at an affordable price. Better yet, this new label, owned by Stacy Lill and Kathy Johanson, contributes a portion of its profits to fund scholarships for underprivileged young women here in Washington State. Full-flavored, fleshy and dolloped with buttery oak, this classy wine is available at many area grocery stores, wine shops and restaurants.” By Paul Gregutt, Seattle Times – April 23, 2008
