From deep schist and gravelly soils, this Chardonnay is the perfect balance of freshness and textural ripeness that makes the best NZ Chardonnays so alluring. From top producer Felton Road, it ferments in just 5% new oak (the rest is neutral) with 11 months of periodic lees-stirring. If you're loving the Chardonnays coming out of Oregon lately, this should also be on your must-try list!
