Chardonnay, White Wine, Oregon
Our Willamette Valley Chardonnay is sourced from unique vineyards across the region, including our very own estate in the Yamhill-Crlton sub-AVA, giving this wine freshness, energy and texture. This white wine is vibrant and precise, with aromas of citrus, chamomile and pear. Mid-palate roundness is followed by bright acidity and a lengthy finish. Pair with thyme roasted chicken, trout and scallops. This bottled Oregon chardonnay is 13.5% alcohol by volume. Grapes for our Willamette Valley Chardonnay were picked to achieve minerality, floral and citrus zest flavors, while ensuring energy is maintained. Whole-cluster pressing drives purity of fruit expression and partial Malolactic Fermentation adds salinity and tension. The wine aged in 29% new French oak barrels for 12 months to build richness and elevate the wine without interfering with freshness.
