00 Wines (Double Zero) VGW Chardonnay 2023

The VGW is the flagship Chardonnay from this cult producer sourced from the four corners of the Willamette Valley to showcase the character of each vintage.

00 Wines' philosophy is reflected directly on the bottle: zero is the number of potential in numerology. When you start from zero you can go anywhere. One of the zeros in double zero stands for the potential of Chardonnay, and one of the zeros stands for the potential of Pinot Noir. Owners Chris and Kathryn Hermann are constantly experimenting with ancient and modern winemaking techniques to express the ultimate flavour and aroma potential of each vineyard site that they work with. This includes hand-destemming the Pinot
Noir and fermenting in Italian clay amphorae with indigenous yeast. 00 Wines champions the 'Black Chardonnay' technique that includes skin contact maceration and heavy pressing, and no SO2 until close to bottling. This results in a highly textured and aromatic Chardonnay series.
