Granville Basalt chardonnay 2023

Say hello to Granville Basalt's Chardonnay — a dry white wine from Oregon from the 2023 vintage. Chardonnay is the world's most famous white grape, remarkably versatile, ranging from crisp and citrusy when unoaked to rich and buttery with notes of apple, pear and, when oak-aged, vanilla and toast. Oregon, up in the cool, rainy Pacific Northwest, has made its name with elegant, cool-climate wines — its silky Pinot Noir above all. Bring on the richer plates — roast chicken, creamy sauces, salmon. Chill it down and enjoy.
