Question 1
A guest asks why old-guard Oregon Chardonnay tasted so different from the wines being made today. What best explains the difference in the earlier style?
A
It was made in a California-influenced style with heavy malolactic fermentation and substantial new oak that obscured site character
B
It was fermented entirely with wild yeast in concrete eggs to preserve minerality
C
It was made from young vines planted only in the last fifteen years
D
It relied on skin-contact maceration to build texture in place of oak
