Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are, in our mind, indissociable — two sides of the same coin. Where one grows, the other is never too far. Chardonnay displays its most delicate, pure and complex expression in the same marginal climate where its red brethren thrives. The varietal is an incredibly uncompromising and truthful vector for terroir, which is why we source fruit from only those vineyards that display the strongest character.
While we tend to the young Chardonnay vines we’ve planted at Abbott Claim Vineyard and our new property in the Eola-Amity Hills, we have been sourcing grapes from a select few vineyards in the same AVA. Natively fermented and aged on its lees for twelve months in barrels followed by six months in stainless-steel tanks. Kept unfiltered ahead of bottling in March 2021.
