Morgen Long - Chardonnay Pink Label Willamette Valley 2022

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

"A rosé d'assemblage from Chardonnay with a dash of Pinot Noir lees from Sequitur. This is usually 3-4 barrels of each vintage and will be filtered before bottling. After 13 months on Chardonnay lees, the Chardonnay is blended with Pinot Noir lees to give it colour. Morgen Long wanted to do something that wasn't another Pinot Noir rosé. Fresh, saline, tart cranberry relish a wine of wonderful freshness with plenty of zing."-Clive Pursehouse

"Unexpectedly complex. the 2022 Rosé Pink Label is a veritable flower shop on the nose, revealing aromas of wild strawberry, dusty sage, rose, lavender and wet stone. This is racy and intense, with a mineral tinge up front further enhanced by tart orchard fruits and sour citrus. It leaves the palate completely cleansed and literally watering for more, lingering with the slightest hint of sour melon. Inspired by Selosse, the Rosé Pink Label is composed of 96% Willamette Valley Chardonnay and 4% Pinot Noir lees."-Eric Guido

"I tasted the 2022 Chardonnay Pink Label from tank two months before it was due to be bottled. From the Seven Springs (48%), Blue Heron Farm (48%) and Sequitur (4%) Vineyards, it contains four percent Pinot Noir lees, which gives it a pale cherry-pink color. Matured for one year in used French oak puncheons, it has aromas of melon, peach, grapefruit, green herbs, bread dough and floral perfume. The light-bodied palate features concentrated fruit balanced by a tangy acidity, and it has a long, gently creamy finish. Just 72 cases are expected."-Erin Brooks
