If you love Chardonnay, you need to know this name
We're pleased to offer a new allocation of Morgen Long Chardonnays, who most certainly must be included among the top producers in Oregon.  Seth has been making wine here in the Willamette Valley since 2009 and started his own label in 2014.  His focus on prime vineyard sites and meticulous care in the winery bear out in the finished wine.  This is wine that must be tried by anyone who appreciates a great Chardonnay. 
 
The notes for the vintages below come directly from Seth and have been edited for brevity.  He is not only meticulous in his winemaking and if you wish to dig deeper give us a call for more details.

Seven Springs Vineyard 2020

Spiced and chalky aromas of salted pineapple, baked lemon, ginger and lemongrass mingle with wet rocks and dried chamomile. Firm with austere structure, delicately sweet fruit flavors have an ephemeral cotton candy texture and finish weightless and long.

Vinification Notes: Whole cluster pressed; the juice was allowed to brown for 12 hours before being sulfured. One press cut was made and the hard press was isolated. After 24 hours of cold settling on organic yeast hulls, the heart was racked off of all solids into a warming stainless tank and a fermenting pied de cuve was introduced. Once ambient yeast fermentation started, the must was chaptalized 0.5% and racked to oak. It was bone dry in two weeks and malolactic engaged, completing between late December and early January. It aged for 11.5 months in 60% new French oak before being racked off lees into steel for a second winter. Cold stabilized and polish filtered in February 2022.

Profoundly complex aromas of ginger, lemongrass, orange oil, almond pastry with hints of acacia, mint, lime curd, and green mango. Bright acidity, silken texture, and sleek flavors smoothed by white oak spice, finishing long with power and elegance.
