Our 2018 Chardonnay is sourced from the fabled McDuffee Vineyard in The Dalles. Due to our cooler climate, Oregon Chardonnay has a higher acidity level than California, making them more like true Burgundians. We avoid new oak for our Chardonnay, reaching instead for sur lie aging in neutral American Oak. A perfect malolactic fermentation is achieved to complete the lovely and complex flavor profile of the 2018 vintage without an over oak feel.

The wine opens with nutty aromas of toasted hazelnut and hints of pineapple. A rich, creamy vanilla custard palate follows. This lush wine rounds off with a velvety soft, caramel finish. Delicious!
