Launching the New American Chardonnay Renaissance
In 2015, 00 Wines redefined what was possible for Chardonnay on the West Coast of America. With the debut of our first Chardonnay, VGW, we introduced Oregon to the Black Chardonnay technique, a daring, Burgundian-inspired method that transforms the grape through controlled oxygen exposure to create depth, texture, and age-worthy complexity.
This groundbreaking approach marked more than a milestone for 00 Wines. It ignited a movement. Today, a new generation of winemakers across the West Coast draws inspiration from that same spirit of innovation, crafting Chardonnays that honor tradition while pushing the boundaries of expression.
At 00 Wines, our mission remains the same as it was in 2015: to pioneer, to elevate, and to inspire moments of wine discovery.
