Averaen Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2021 750ml

Averaen Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2021 is a 100% Chardonnay from Oregon's Willamette Valley, at 13% ABV.

Averaen was founded by the team behind Banshee Wines in Sonoma, inspired at the International Pinot Noir Celebration in 2013.

It shows white peach, vanilla and lemon, with a crisp, dry, medium-bodied palate and excellent acidity.

James Suckling rated the 2021 at 91 points and Wine Enthusiast at 90.

Its botanical engraving label makes it a lovely gift.

Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
