Founded in 2015 by Dr. Richard Hermann and his wife Freya Herman, 00 Wines is a family-owned and operated winery. They emigrated from Europe to the United States after World War II and settled in Willamette Valley, Oregon. That is where they became beloved professors and scientific researchers at Oregon State University. 00 Wines is a global luxury wine house specializing in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir bottlings from Burgundy, Champagne, and Willamette Valley, Oregon. Today, their curious nature and unwavering precision are infused into the philosophy of 00 Wines by their son, Chris

"A bright yellow hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Seven Springs Vineyard is vibrant with great energy and focus, offering notes of lime zest, crushed stone, flinty earth, and white peach. Medium-bodied with outstanding electric energy throughout, it has a more linear, focused feel and a long, persistent finish. Drink it over the next 10 or more years." 

"The single vineyard bottling from Seven Springs is superb, with aromas of passionfruit, lime peel, coconut water and crushed mint. The texture is lively and bright, with enough weight to impress but no sense of heaviness. The grapes come from the H Block on the north side of the property and are a combination of Dijon and old-school Wente clones vinified together. They are foot-crushed, pressed very firmly and fermented in French oak before ageing for a year in cask and six months in tank. This superb wine is drinking now and should continue to improve for years." Charles Curtis
