Partially fermented and aged in French oak barrels, with the rest fermented and aged in stainless steel and then blended together before bottling, the high-pitched and mineral 2021 Arthur Chardonnay explodes with aromas and flavors of dried green apple, fresh white peach, white flower petals, and blanched hazelnuts. The mouthfeel is precise, balanced, and elegant, with perfect levels of acidity, a medium body, and a lovely green apple and dried thyme finish. The Arthur showcases what a talented winemaker can do with Chardonnay in Oregon.
