Alcohol: 13.5%
Grape(s): 100% Chardonnay
Location: Koosah Vineyard, Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Tasting Notes: Green apple, pear and citrus zest with a flinty, mineral core and a creamy mid-palate, finishing crisp and clean.
Notes: The Koosah blocks sit at the top of a high-elevation vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills, where the shallowest soils give small crops and a tightly wound, mineral expression. The wine is raised on its lees in barrel for texture and complexity.
Food Pairing: Lobster, scallops, roast chicken, creamy pasta and soft rind cheeses.
Winery Story: Granville Wine Co. is an Oregon producer working in the Willamette Valley, making vineyard-designate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that aim to show the character of individual sites rather than a house style.
