From an organically farmed site whose vines sit on volcanic influenced soil. Fermented and aged in 500 & 350-liter barrels for 12 months (50% new) followed by another 3 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

Impressions: Aromas of nectarines, brown pear, dried mango and lemongrass reveal a rich, concentrated palate with hints of vanilla and flint on an extremely lengthy finish. Simply put, X-Novo is one of the best sites for Chardonnay in the Willamette, 45 minute decant recommended.
