J. Christopher Sol et Soleil Chardonnay

This Chardonnay was fermented in large (500-liter) oak casks, where it rested on the full lees for nearly two years. The fruit is from vineyards in three AVAs of the Willamette Valley: our own Appassionata Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains, Yamhill-Carlton and Eola-Amity Hills. With a fine aromatic richness and an elegant, mineral-infused embrace of the palate, it celebrates the stony soils and the sunny ripeness that Chardonnay can achieve in our corner of Oregon.
