Chardonnay

  • This rare clone of Chardonnay is planted on a volcanic mountain on the cooler Western edge of Columbia Gorge AVA. Fresh notes of lemon and pear are grounded by savory flavors from malolactic fermentation and French oak.  We are adjusting our harvest dates and winemaking practice to achieve the most desirable balance of land, vine and wine.

  • Ages with Grace 
    We grow a unique clone of Chardonnay that truly reflect the Burgundian heritage. Its roots reach deep into well-drained soils, traversed with lenses of volcanic rocks. The vines are nestled in a relatively warmer, less windy nook edged with a massive stonewall and surrounded by a fir and oak woodlot. The yeast lees are stirred to create lushness in the mouth, to naturally inhibit oxidation and round the edges of the wine. This a great opportunity to explore the aging potential of Chardonnay 14 years after harvest. On that note, this wine has begun its elegant decline. It is on sale for $10 per bottle or $90 per case.
