About Morgen Long Willamette Valley Chardonnay

Morgen Long Willamette Valley Chardonnay is a mineral, full-flavoured white wine that comes straight from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. This perfect place for growing grapes, located on the northwest coast of the United States, very close to the Pacific, is home to the Chardonnay variety, which gives body and soul to this wine made at the Morgen Long winery.

Morgen Long is the brainchild of Seth Morgen, a wine lover (a North Carolina native) who came to the Willamette Valley with his parents at the age of 9. Here, in this magical place for growing grapes (Oregon’s leading growing region), his passion for wine was born. This interest led him to study at the International Sommelier Guild and to travel the world, discovering the secrets of the vine in the vineyard and the grapes in the winery. For the time being, his life has led him back to the Willamette Valley, where he is now exclusively dedicated to growing Chardonnay.

In this area, Chardonnay grows beautifully. Morgen Long Willamette Valley Chardonnay is a blend of six vineyards: The Eyre Vineyard, Seven Springs, Durant Vineyard (on basaltic volcanic soil), Loubejac Vineyard, AlexEli Vineyard (silty clay loam soils) and Yamhill Vineyard (sandy with marine sediments). In all of them, the vines face different directions, which will determine how ripe each bunch gets. The temperatures, which are not very high (an average of 16ºC during the growing season), have a great range and there is a good level of humidity (very similar to Champagne and Burgundy). Cultivation is completely sustainable and environmentally friendly, giving 1% of their income to helping eliminate CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Morgen Long Willamette Valley Chardonnay is harvested by hand. All batches of grapes are taken to the winery and are pressed and left to rest for 12 to 24 hours in cold storage. After this racking, where the wine is cleared of solids, Morgen Long Willamette Valley Chardonnay is racked to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation begins. Before this process begins, and to ensure that the yeasts work, Seth Morgen adds sugar to some batches (known as chaptalisation). After six weeks, Morgen Long Willamette Valley Chardonnay undergoes malolactic fermentation and spends a year in oak barrels (20% of which are new). Once ready, after stabilisation and filtration, Morgen Long Willamette Valley Chardonnay will be bottled.

2019

Morgen Long Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2019 is a defined white. The nose is elegant, with flinty reduction and aromas of lemon, lime, almond paste, ginger, crushed rocks and spice. The palate is lively, with a very attractive acidity. Silky and dense texture. Long and persistent finish.
