Composition
Chardonnay EOLA Amity Hills
This sustainably and dry-farmed single-vineyard Chardonnay captures the essence of terroir-driven winemaking. Grown with meticulous care and minimal intervention, the grapes thrive in the unique microclimate and soil composition of their specific plot. The resulting wine features a harmonious balance of crisp acidity and rich fruit flavors, complemented by subtle notes of oak and minerality that reflect its distinct origin.
The vineyard sits on a south-facing ridge in the southern Eola-Amity Hills AVA. The terroir evokes volcanic soils, cooler temperatures, and an ideal elevation range.

This Chardonnay has a clean golden color. The nose is deep and subtle. The palate is intense and concentrated while keeping delicate notes of citrus, and white flower. The finish has a distinctive elegance which might remind us of the famous French cousin.

2022
"The 2022 Chardonnay blends enriching notes of ripe peach and honeyed florals with crushed stone and hints of sweet sage. This is round and soothing up front with an early onset of minerality that adds presence. Tart orchard fruits and sour citrus combine on the palate to create a display of contrasts. The 2022 finishes spicy and remarkably long, leaving suggestions of ground ginger and dried apricots. I love its dichotomous nature."
