Late Harvest Chardonnay

2005 Southern Oregon Chardonnay

Spangler Vineyards Late Harvest Chardonnay from the 2005 vintage is a stunning example of what late harvest wines can achieve in Southern Oregon's unique terroir. With its golden hue, this white wine invites you in with aromas of ripe pear and luscious honey, punctuated by hints of vanilla. On the palate, it showcases a rich and full body complemented by medium acidity that keeps it lively and refreshing. The fruit intensity is prominent, with flavors of tropical fruits and juicy stone fruit, balanced beautifully by a touch of sweetness that pleasantly lingers. This wine is dry yet incredibly mouthwatering, making it a delightful choice for pairing with rich desserts or enjoying on its own as a luscious treat.

With its rugged landscape and cool Pacific climate, Oregon is one of the world's great modern Pinot Noir regions. The Willamette Valley produces an impressive array of styles across its six AVAs, from fragrantly fruity to lush and complex. This is thanks to a range of terroirs that are eerily similar to Burgundy's in France (Oregon even lies on the same latitude). In fact, major Burgundy producers have set up in Oregon to make wine, including Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. And it is not just Pinot Noir found in Oregon. Other benchmark grapes include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling; Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah thrive in the southern AVAs.
