St. Reginald "Cold Blooded Old Times" Chardonnay Sous Voile

Andrew Reginald Young left behind a career as a New Orleans rock drummer in 2012 to make low-intervention wines from cooler climate vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley. He works with a lot of carbonic maceration to keep the wines light, all fermented with native yeasts and minimal intervention in the winery. The name of the winery is an amalgamation on his middle name, Reginald, and his neighborhood growing up in New Orleans, St Tammany Parish.

"Cold Blooded Old Times", a sous voile (oxidized via flor aging) Chardonnay that experienced élevage completely outdoors in an open air barn (on the same property where the wine was grown) for 10+ years. The barrels were completely forgotten, never opened and never topped, thus wine reduced down to 16.5% percent ABV over the course of a decade, while the chemistry remained the same in regards to total acidity and pH.

The best barrels were blended by Andy and bottled as a one time only release, never to be repeated. A true time capsule. A unicorn. A proper piece of history that is completely shelf stable for periods up to at least 30 days, if not more. If you're into the Jura, Vin Jaune, Sherry, Madeira, etc, this wine is for you. If you don't know if you are, trust us...you are. Serve as an after dinner drink, chilled or room temp, or just get cray and pour it over ice cream.
