Cristom 2022 Chardonnay, Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley

Chardonnay is grown and farmed using biodynamic and organic methods at our Louise, Eileen, and Paul Gerrie Vineyards. Along with Cristom Estate fruit, we select esteemed neighboring vineyards based on their sustainable farming practices and varying attributes, including volcanic soils, to craft a Chardonnay with the duality of generosity and tension. The fruit from Paul Gerrie, Royer, and Eola Springs vineyards has defining acidity and phenolics and comprises the structural skeleton of the wine. Von Oehson, Seven Springs, Stiling, and estate vineyards Eileen and Louise flesh out the body of the wine, creating a balance of fresh citrus and floral components and an inviting texture and mouthfeel.
