Tan Fruit Oak Grove Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Tan Fruit Oak Grove Vineyard Chardonnay 2021 is a polished Oregon white wine that showcases the precision and elegance Willamette Valley Chardonnay can achieve. Sourced from the highly regarded Oak Grove Vineyard, it combines ripe fruit, careful oak handling, and a clear sense of place, making it a compelling choice for drinkers who appreciate both richness and freshness.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, inviting profile with layers of citrus, green apple, pear, and white flowers. The palate is fuller and more textured, moving into peach and nectarine notes, balanced by crisp acidity and a subtle mineral edge that keeps the wine focused and refined. French oak aging adds gentle accents of vanilla, butter, and toasted nuts, giving the wine depth without overwhelming its fruit. The finish is long and persistent, and while it is already highly enjoyable now, it should also develop nicely over the next few years, gaining additional complexity and integration.

Production
The Chardonnay comes from Oak Grove Vineyard in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where warm days and cool nights help preserve acidity while allowing the fruit to ripen fully. The vineyard’s varied soils and distinctive microclimate contribute to the wine’s layered character, and the grapes are hand-harvested from selected parcels to ensure quality. Fermentation is carried out at controlled low temperatures to protect the grape’s delicate aromatic profile, followed by maturation in French oak barrels. This approach adds texture, spice, and subtle richness while maintaining the vineyard’s fresh, mineral-driven expression.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, and shellfish. Serve it chilled at 10–12°C for the best balance of aroma and freshness. Decanting is not necessary, though a brief splash in the glass can help the aromas open up.
