Grape: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2023
Type: White

An intensely flinty, zesty, smoky and fragrant white. On the palate it’s salty, immensely concentrated and fresh, with heaps of crushed stone, flint and citrus rind flavors. Medium-bodied and electric, while packing a punch. Textured and creamy, too. A large proportion of the grapes comes from the Eola Amity Hills.

Chris Hermann is a unique figure in the wine world. He is equally at ease in the boardroom advising major wineries and vineyards and in the cellar crafting ultra-premium wines. He co-founded 00 Wines in 2015 alongside his wife Kathryn and his late father Dr. Richard Hermann in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, creating a project that fuses family heritage, ecological insight and winemaking ambition. At 00 Wines Chris applies the same precision and vision: sourcing elite vineyards in the Willamette Valley drawing on Old World techniques including Burgundy-inspired “black Chardonnay” methods and aiming to produce Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of world-class finesse.

“This is about pushing Chardonnay to its capacity and giving Pinot its voice in a place like Oregon.” — Chris Hermann
