Golden Cluster "Ode To Chuck" Old Vine Semillon, 2021

Oregon, (Willamette Valley AVA)

100% Semillon

12.4%

 

From the winemaker: The versatility of Semillon is what makes it such a pleasure to work with. The exploration of these old vines continues. The 2021 version was a special vintage, so much so, that it is only the second time that we made an ‘Ode to Chuck’. This is essentially our reserve.

 

TASTING NOTES: It smells like Golden Delicious apples, pear and ginger, with a wee bit of talc and honeycomb. It possesses brisk acidity to accompany intense flavors like cardamom, lemon sorbet and a cup of genmaicha (or “popcorn tea.")

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: This Semillon would pair well with a white fish or a Seafood Louie, as well as pork chops and chicken.
