2023 CHARDONNAY
AMATERRA
WILLAMETTE VALLEY
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 MARCH 2025:
Aromas of lemon, pear, and caramel. On the palate there are notes of mineral, barrel toast, pear concentrate, apple, and bright acidity.
