Lemon in color, the wine opens with aromas of pear, lychee and golden apple on the nose. A medium-bodied, round mid-palate with flavors that mirror aromas with the addition of white florals and chamomile is resolved by balancing acidity for a long-lingering finish.
This classic "Willamette Valley style" Chardonnay is sourced from our three Estate vineyards — the original planting by Founder Jim Bernau in the Salem Hills, Tualatin Estate planted by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller in the foothills of the Coastal Range and Elton planted by Dick and Betty O'Brien in the Eola-Amity Hills.
Pale gold in color, the wine opens with rich aromas of peach, pear and white florals. On the palate, the flavors mirror aromas with the addition of honey and orange blossoms and move into a refreshing finish with balancing acidity.
Elegant aromas of lemon cream pie, buttered pastry, mandarin orange and vanilla emerge from the glass and move into a creamy and rich palate expressing flavors of orange blossom, florals and butterscotch. The medium bodied wine is refined with balancing acidity and length of the finish that extends far beyond the sip.
Crafted by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller, Founder of Tualatin Estate Vineyard, using his favorite blocks and traditional techniques. Light gold in color, the wine opens with aromas of lemon, toasted pineapple, pine and spice. Rich and supple in texture, flavors of golden apple, vanilla, brown sugar and brioche lift from the palate and flow into a lingering, round finish.
The nose opens with aromas of fresh tropical fruit, pear, pineapple and honey that unfolds into a creamy medium-bodied palate offering a beautiful textural experience and carries in flavors of minerality with a kiss of oak. The finish is long with balancing acidity to highlight its vibrancy and notes of crème brûlée that linger far beyond the sip.
