Grape Profile: Chardonnay tends to exhibit apple, pear, and citrus flavors, while in warmer climates, they lean towards tropical fruit notes like pineapple and mango. Chardonnays can be aged in oak which can introduce flavors of vanilla, butter, and cream, and a richer, fuller body.

Region Profile: The Eola-Amity Hills AVA, part of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, benefits from cool Pacific breezes channeled through the Van Duzer Corridor. This maritime influence contributes to the region’s ability to produce wines with vibrant acidity and complex flavor profiles.

Pair with: Richer fish and seafood like swordfish and lobster. Poultry and pork. Soft or semi-hard cheeses like aged cheddar and gruyere. Egg-based dishes like quiches as well as lighter-fare like salads.
