Thank you for all the interest and orders we have received so far!
We are sold out of both the Rock Salt and 12 East 12 Chardonnays. Thank you!
If you need some wine, we’re still here to help!. Our recent Spring Release Wines are available with complimentary ground shipping on all orders of 6 bottles or more for as long as necessary to ride out the Quarantine efforts in style.
Again, thank you for your support in these challenging days.
We can’t wait to see you on the other side of this and share wine and laughs and catch up on life. We are sending you all lots of love, hoping we all come out as unscathed as possible.
I saw that too with the website and then started over again and it came back. Talked with Ken and Erica this morning and both these wines sound exceptional but Ken talking about the Rock Salt has me drooling. Order in for both
The two Berserker exclusive bottlings are priced at Wholesale and our offer for these two bottlings did not include shipping. While we stated that in the offer, in retrospect, we should have noted it in bold to avoid confusion.
Sorry we didn’t communicate better.
I have updated the offer to clarify this point as well as noting that the Rock Salt Cuvee is sold out.
The 12 East 12 Cuvee remains available.
Likewise our Spring Release is open with free shipping on 6 bottles or more.
Very excited to get the Rock Salt!
I have a pretty good idea who the friend is that you made it with and all those wines have been fantastic!
Amazing price even with shipping!
Not other than what they provided. correct me if I’m wrong but pretty much all WS Chardonnays are 100% Malo and typically ~40% new oak.
Example(s):
Vineyards: 100% X Novo Vineyard, Eola-Amity Hills AVA, Willamette Valley
Ingredients: 100% Chardonnay grapes, SO2
Malolactic conversion: 100%
Yeast: Ambient, minimal bâtonnage
Fining: Casein & Bentonite, filtered for clarity
French Oak: Fermented and aged in 500 & 350-liter barrels for 12 months & finished for 3 months in stainless steel tank. 40% New Oak
ABV: 13%
Residual Sugar: 0 g/l
Vineyards: 100% Seven Springs Vineyard, Eola-Amity Hills AVA, Willamette Valley
Ingredients: 100% Chardonnay grapes, SO2
Malolactic conversion: 100%
Yeast: Ambient, minimal bâtonnage
Fining: Casein & Bentonite, filtered for clarity
French Oak: Fermented and aged in 500 & 350-liter barrels for 12 months & finished for 3 months in stainless steel tank. 40% New Oak
ABV: 13%
Residual Sugar: 0 g/l
From what I see all the SVD’s are 40% new oak and 100% malo. La Combe Vert is 30% new oak and 100% malo.
The wine had elevage in 40% new wood and went completely through Malo, as is generally our norm.
The barrels are primarily Puncheons so there is less wood surface contact per Liter than standard cooperage and we tend to use barrels with modest toast. The Oak influence is so restrained that people who try our Chards for the first time sometimes assume elevage was in stainless.
If you’ve enjoyed other Walter Scott Chard bottlings, you’ll likely see a “family resemblance”!
Super Fast shipping on these. Arrived Sunday. Will post some formal notes this evening but the 12 East 12 is a nice balanced chardonnay with nice fruit on pop on pour with great balancing acidity. Great to drink now but I think could still benefit from a few years of age. The Rock Salt is flinty/minerally/high acidity white burg goodness. Those who bought that one are in for a treat.
