Statera Cellars Chardonnay Cutis 2021 JULY42024 The 2017 is especially openFrom the producer: Cutis is our skin contact chardonnay. Sourced from the organically farmed Royer & Alexeli vineyards in the Willamette Valley, the wine fermented whole berry for 4 weeks, and was then aged in neutral french barrels for 10 months. From us: A super friendly orange wine that is accessible to the non orange drinkers yet familiar to orange lovers. A charming, pretty rendition of orange wine.
