Bethel Heights Wines Chardonnay Estate 2009 Oregon Case of 12 VINTAGE: 2007 was a classic, cool Oregon vintage,similar to 2005. The summer provided adequate heat to ripen the fruit, and the fall finished cool, following the grapes to fully express their varietal character. It was a vintage that challenged the winegrowers to be at the top of their game. Nice weather at bloom produced a large crop that had to be severely thinned to achieve optimum ripening. When the fall turned rainy and cool, we marshaled our forces to pull more leaves around the fruit, as a hedge against botrytis, and to get more sun on the fruit. In the end the extra effort gave us clean ripe grapes, and wines with moderate alcohols and pure fruit character.
