"A to Z Wineworks Oregon Chardonnay aromas evoke lemon zest, pineapple, spiced pear, quince paste, melon, fresh herbs, oyster shell and crushed rock. The wine has a distinct linearity and focus with evident lees contact. There is a nice texture to the palate which hints of plantain, ginger, lemongrass, celery, and dried pear. This exciting wine is bright and juicy, with energetic, phenolic tension holding the acidity throughout. Finishes with a lingering touch of minerality and just enough weight to tempt each additional sip. Pairs well with fresh, vibrant, and lively foods that sparkle with acidity like Baja fish tacos or heavier foods that need a bit of a high note lift such as roasted monkfish and trout." —winemaker
