WINERY Bergström Wines, a first-generation American family business, is one of the most unique and lauded domaines in the Willamette Valley. Dr. John Bergström’s Swedish heritage and the love he developed for the Pacific Northwest are the roots of this estate. In 1999, John and his son, Josh, established Bergström Wines and today, Josh and Caroline, his wife and business partner, are celebrating more than 25 years as biodynamic growers of estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards on the finest appellations within Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

WINE We believe in the potential of Willamette Valley Chardonnay as a world-class wine. Sigrid Chardonnay honors our Swedish grandmother, inspiring three generations of Bergstrom children. Our estate style celebrates the floral, mineral, saline, and fruity notes unique to Willamette Valley. Sigrid is a selection from our oldest vines in Ribbon Ridge, Chehalem Mountains, and Dundee Hills. Key characteristics include ethereal perfume, layered texture, natural acidity, and mineral salinity. These wines balance acidity with fruity and floral notes framed by a salty minerality. Sigrid Chardonnay is drinkable when young and ages well for 15-20 years if cellared properly.

Estate-sourced from Bergstrom, Le Pre du Col, and Silice Vineyards in Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge, and Chehalem Mountains AVAs. Chardonnay represents a bout 15% of the tot a I Bergstrom estate acreage.

After spring frost challenges that resulted in significant yield reduction, the 2022 vintage release is a testament to the resilience of the Willamette Valley. A serendipitous course to a triumphant harvest yielded spectacular Chardonnay examples of varietal and regional expression. They have a noble reductive mineral saline quality and succulent natural acidity levels that frame and add structure to lovely citrus fruit, floral aromas, and flavors. These wines will be delicious when young and long-lived in the cellar

Whole-cluster, “champagne-style,” long and gentle, and lengthy pressing of the fruit at low-pressure levels for long durations to extract the finest juice.
