The fruit for the 2023 vintage once again comes from premier vineyard partners including Freedom Hill and Durant, along with select barrels from our Estate blocks. Don, Jesse, and Dan create depth by utilizing different fermentation vessels—such as stainless steel, neutral oak puncheons, and a touch of concrete. The outcome is a vibrant, fruit-forward Chardonnay, bursting with lively notes of orange blossom, Asian pear, ripe pineapple, and passion fruit. Its refreshing acidity and elegant texture contribute to this wines versatility and character. Limited malolactic fermentation ensures exceptional fruit purity and lively acidity. The result is a captivating Chardonnay, complemented by refreshing acidity and a refined texture, making it both versatile and full of character.

"The beautiful 2023 Lange ‘Classique’ Chardonnay is a killer value from this slightly warmer vintage. Melon and starfruit tones make the nose alongside baking spices and challah bread. The palate is fresh and beautifully textured, as this comes from some of the older Dijon clone vines in the Willamette Valley. This is an incredible value. Drink 2024-2030"
