EOLA-AMITY HILLS CHARDONNAY OREGON 2023

This Chardonnay, sourced from across Seven Springs, remains one of our most significant bottlings each year. It is about the gestalt of the vineyard: different rows of different ages of vines, arrayed in a single wine that gets to the heart of the site and shows its contribution to advancing the appreciation of Oregon, and Eola-Amity Hills, Chardonnay.

The straw color and ever so light spritz of Seven Springs Chardonnay remain a welcome sight – the color signifying its restrained oak, while that trapped CO2 makes for a wake-up call to the palate. In between looking and tasting are Seven Springs’ classic aromas: yellow tree fruits à la Meyer lemon, Asian pear, Golden Delicious; with subtle white flower and salted pie crust accents. All these elements, it should be said, meet the electricity of each sip with enough texture to be in concert with one another, opening the wine up to a bevy of foods for pairing.
