Estate Chardonnay

2017 Willamette Valley Chardonnay

The Benedetto Vineyards Estate Chardonnay from the esteemed Willamette Valley is a captivating expression of its varietal, showcasing a delightful golden hue that hints at its luscious character. This 2017 vintage presents a medium-bodied profile, offering a beautifully balanced acidity that brightens the palate and enhances the overall drinking experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, with vibrant notes of green apple, pear, and subtle hints of citrus that dance gracefully on the tongue. This Chardonnay is dry, allowing the elegant flavors to shine without any overwhelming sweetness. Its well-structured tannins add a touch of finesse, making it an excellent choice for a variety of food pairings, from creamy seafood dishes to light pastas, ensuring an unforgettable tasting experience.

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
