A crisp, yet complex wine, Rex Hill Unwooded Chardonnay 2006 represents the sixth vintage of Oregon’s original ultra-premium “un-oaked” Chardonnay. To highlight the wonderful fruit and underlying minerality in some of the Willamette Valley’s best vineyard sites, we ferment in small stainless steel fermenters to retain the fruit’s bright transparency and then age the wines on their lees in small stainless steel drums to achieve a creamy mouthfeel. Aromas of candied citrus, plums, green apple. Good richness on the attack, with broad palate-coating flavors that echo the nose. The brisk acidity adds structure and freshness, focusing the mineral notes, and lengthening flavors.
