Coelho Winery
Apreciação Coelho Estate Vineyard Chardonnay
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Light yellow gold. Inviting nose of baked quince with savory spices. Medium palate echoes the nose adding subtle hints of burnt butterscotch, and citrus rind. Medium plus acidity at the core that softens a bit back palate. Finish is long and clean, extending the pome aspects of the palate. A solidly New World Chardonnay with an Old World feel. Richer white wine fare (cream sauces, heavy seafood) will be well supported. Drink now through 2025.

Pale lemon with pronounced aromas of stone and citrus fruits, barrel fermented, 15% new oak. On the palate crisp green apple, lime and oak. Good balance and mouthfeel with lively acidity, lingering ending with a touch of oak on mineral finish. Tasting Sample.

Feb 16th, 2022Star bright pale straw gold. Inviting nose of baked quince and citrus rind. Medium full palate echoes the nose adding a hint of white pepper mid palate to finish. Oak influence is subtle (I’m guessing French) and malolactic only slightly present, k both showing in a shade of toasted butterscotch. Medium plus acidity. In short, a classic New World Chardonnay with an Old World ethos. Great with a meal, with medium cheeses, and as a sipper. Drink now through 2028 (but with only subtle development).

Delicious! New world Burgundy! Butterscotch nose. Light oak. Citrus, slight white pepper. Can’t wait to buy again!

Delicious aromas of toasted hazelnut, creme brûlée, and tropical fruits (guava, pineapple). Focused acidity and nice precision to the palate of green apple, citrus, and pineapple. Medium bodied and slightly creamy but maintains its mouthwatering acidity throughout.
