Johan Vineyards Estate Chardonnay Van Duzer Corridor

This estate-grown Chardonnay from Oregon’s Van Duzer Corridor AVA is barrel fermented with native yeasts in French oak (6% new) and aged sur lie for around 19 months, finishing native malolactic fermentation. It exhibits vibrant citrus and floral aromatics intertwined with lees-driven texture and savory minerality. The palate combines bright lemon and green apple with a saline, steel-like backbone, complemented by underlying complexity and a lingering, elegantly layered finish. This refined Chardonnay balances fruit purity with structural depth.
