Alcohol: 12.5%
Grape(s): Chardonnay
Location: Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Tasting Notes: Bright and saline-inflected Willamette Chardonnay: lemon curd, Bosc pear and white flowers on the nose, with a mid-palate of yellow apple and hazelnut and a stony, citrus-driven finish.
Notes: Estate fruit from the family's Eola-Amity Hills vineyard; whole-cluster pressed, cool-fermented with native yeasts, a portion matured in neutral French oak to round the texture while keeping the fruit front and center.
Food Pairing: Roast chicken, seared scallops, mushroom risotto, triple-creme cheeses.
Winery Story: Bjornson Vineyard is a family-run estate in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills, farming with a low-intervention, sustainability-first mindset. Beyond the flagship Pinot Noir, the Bjornsons also grow some of the Willamette Valley's rarest plantings, including Gamay Noir, Chenin Blanc and Oregon's first Gouais Blanc.
