PUFFIN CHARDONNAY
GOLD MEDAL: Platinum awareds 2024
gold medal: savor nw wine awards 2024
We call this our "Chardonnay for people who don't like Chardonnay!" This straw-colored wine offers complex aromas of ripe yellow apple, baked pear and lemon curd, with whispers of vanilla and butterscotch that make this a wine to savor.
In the mouth, this cool climate Chardonnay has a rich and creamy texture with a medium-full body. Flavors of ripe apple and lemon are complemented by notes of butter and caramel from malolactic fermentation and nine months of aging in concrete and neutral French oak.
Crafted in collaboration with Ray Walsh of Capitello Wines, using fruit from Equinox Vineyard — one of the southernmost vineyards in the Willamette Valley, located outside Eugene, OR.
Serve slightly chilled (55°F). This Chardonnay pairs nicely with a wide variety of foods, including cheese plates, salads and crab cakes. It also is a nice companion for a summer day at the beach or on the patio.
