Description:
Eyrie Vineyards Chardonnay is a classic and elegant representation of Oregon winemaking, capturing the distinct terroir of the Dundee Hills. Pale gold in the glass, this Chardonnay exudes a sophisticated bouquet of green apple, pear, and citrus zest, accented by delicate notes of white blossoms, hazelnut, and a hint of wet stone.

On the palate, it is beautifully balanced and textured, offering a seamless blend of fresh acidity and creamy richness. Flavors of ripe orchard fruits like apple and quince are complemented by subtle undertones of lemon curd, toasted almond, and a whisper of vanilla. A minerally finish with a touch of salinity leaves a crisp and lasting impression.

Pairing Suggestions:
Eyrie Vineyards Chardonnay pairs elegantly with a variety of dishes. Enjoy it with roasted chicken, seared scallops, or creamy pasta dishes like fettuccine Alfredo. It also complements vegetarian fare such as asparagus risotto or a savory leek and goat cheese tart. For cheese lovers, pair it with Brie, Camembert, or aged Gouda.

Winemaking Notes:
Crafted with a focus on minimal intervention, this Chardonnay is fermented and aged in neutral oak barrels, allowing the purity of the fruit and the unique characteristics of the Dundee Hills’ volcanic soils to shine. Eyrie Vineyards’ commitment to sustainable practices ensures a wine that reflects both place and care.

Eyrie Vineyards Chardonnay is a timeless and versatile wine, offering finesse, complexity, and a true sense of place with every sip.
