2021 Tualatin Estate Chardonnay
The unique Laurelwood soil profile at the Tualatin Estate Vineyard, planted in 1973 by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller, contributes to the complex nature of the wines.
On the Nose: The wine presents soft yellow tones showing a light influence of French oak lending to aromas of marzipan, toffee, honeysuckle and cardamom.
On the Palate: Lemon meringue, tropical fruits and warm barrel spice gather on the palate. The mélange of fruit flavors balances with the bright acidity and rich mouth feel.
Food Pairings: Pair with savory dishes such as lobster bisque, macadamia nut-crusted halibut or clam linguine. Recipes like mushroom risotto, chicken pot pie, fall soups and creamy cheeses balance with the brightness of the wine.

Tualatin Estate Vineyard
Tualatin Hills AVA
Tualatin Estate Vineyard, established in 1973 by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller, is one of the oldest and most respected vineyard sites in Oregon. Covered in Laurelwood soil and Pisolites, the slope is south-facing with an elevation of 250-530 feet. Wine grapes from this 171-acre vineyard have produced world-renowned wines for more than 45 years. Tualatin is the only vineyard to have won the Best of Show for both the red and white categories at the London International Wine Competition in the same year. This is a feat unduplicated by any Oregon winery. Tualatin Estate Vineyard is proudly owned through a merger with Willamette Valley Vineyards accomplished in 1997.
Willamette Valley Vineyards has grown from a bold idea into one of the region’s leading wineries, earning the title “One of America’s Great Pinot Noir Producers” from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
