Appassionata Chardonnay

Appassionata Chardonnay is the expressive summit of this classic Burgundian variety in the Willamette Valley. Fermented and matured in large (500-liter) oak casks, it rests on the full lees for two years before bottling. It then rests in our cellar for another year before its release, three years after the vintage once it begins to reveal the unique nature of its terroir and signature of the vintage. The silky texture is met with notes of stone fruits and focused acidity built to enjoy now and to age gracefully over many years.
