The Sunflower 2020

Our Chardonnay comes from a very small allocation of 1.5 tons, comprised of two clones to ensure diversity of flavors and textures. Once pressed, the juice is racked into barriques, where fermentation occurs naturally. The wine ages for 12 months with occasional stirring of the lees. The oak barrels build a tightly structured framework that holds the richness and brightness together, with a long finish. This is a wine that balances texture, minerality and brightness. 90 cases made. Although this AVA is at the lowest altitude of the Willamette Valley, it is the coolest due to Van Duzer winds.
