2022 CHARDONNAY
AMATERRA
WILLAMETTE VALLEY, OREGON
An assemblage of vineyard sites from various locations in the northern Willamette Valley. We work with these vineyards to craft a wine that shows balance and the best of Chardonnay from this cool-climate region. Combining earlier and later ripening locations creates a wine with layers of aromatics and flavors that accentuate classic Oregon acidity and texture.
TASTING NOTES AS OF OCTOBER, 2024:
Aromas of caramel apple, fresh mushrooms, citrus, honeycomb, and kiwi. On the palate, flavors of pear, graham cracker, lemon candy, white tea, and shortbread.
