Our third vintage of "Sigrid" Chardonnay, Bergström Wine's effort to help propel Oregon Chardonnay's reputation into the same stratosphere as the white wines of Burgundy, is a stunner! Classically structured like our 2007 Sigrid but with more ample proportions that will allow for accessibility in the short-term and a promising future for those precious bottles that are cellared carefully.
Aromas of honeysuckle, brioche, lime blossom, fresh-cream and pear with a kiss of almond entice the palate as the wine is swirled in the glass. The attack is generous and strikes a balance between full-bodied /ripe and classically structured chardonnay and lithe floral expression framed with juicy, mouth-watering acids, and an intense Oregon minerality.
Only 10 barrels out of 110 were chosen for this special wine that has received such enormous critical acclaim and acceptance by America's best sommeliers and Bergström clients alike. This wine was carefully fermented over a long period of time in 40% new French oak cooperage and hails from the vineyards of: Anderson, Carabella, Durant, Bergström and de Lancellotti (marking the very first vintage in 11 years that Bergström has had estate fruit in a white wine!
Enjoy now through 2017. Recommended food pairing: oysters on the half shell, traditional mussel and clam dishes, sushi and sashimi dishes, cheeses, and fish/poultry dishes prepared in a French/Burgundian style.
