Cristom, Chardonnay, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2024

Bright and expressive, the Cristom Chardonnay captures the essence of its origins with aromas of Meyer lemon, brioche toast, ocean spray, and sweet citrus. A touch of saline enhances vibrant flavors of lemon zest, Lemonhead candy, and green accents of fern leaf and nettle, all unfolding on a textured mid-palate. A phenolic, salivating finish lingers with hints of graham cracker crust for added depth.

Practicing organic and biodynamic. Whole cluster pressed. Native yeast fermentation. Aged on its lees in a portion of neutral & new French oak barrels. Unfined, unfiltered.
