Estate Chardonnay 2022

$30.00 / 750 ml
The cool vintage is clearly reflected in the aromatics of our Chardonnay. Lemon curd, apple, and honeysuckle flowers are paired against a faint and slightly sweet aroma of coconut and vanilla from the oak. The mouthfeel is fresh and has a focused minerality while the crisp acidity leads into a mouthwatering finish.

Winery Info
VAN DUZER VINEYARDS
Unlike the more developed wine regions to the north, Van Duzer Vineyards remains much like it was a quarter century ago when Carl and Marilynn Thoma first discovered it. Visiting Van Duzer is like stepping back in time to when the Willamette Valley was "yet to be fully discovered." Perched on a knoll, the vineyard offers panoramic valley views and a unique micro-climate, the Van Duzer Corridor. The Coast Range mountains lie to the west, and the Pacific Ocean's influence arrives each afternoon. Van Duzer Vineyards makes elegant, wind-impacted expressions of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and Syrah wines driven by a finely tuned balance of rich fruit flavors and fresh acidity. Head Winemaker Eric Misiewicz blends his history of winemaking in diverse regions–in New York's Finger Lakes, in Spain and Australia, and at classic producers in the Napa Valley–with a passion for the challenging yet thrilling conditions at Van Duzer Estate vineyard.
