A beautifully structured Chardonnay from the volcanic slopes of Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills, the 2023 Eola Hills bottling delivers vibrant acidity, subtle oak, and a mineral-driven finish that speaks clearly of place.
Taste
Clean and golden in the glass, this Chardonnay opens with delicate aromas of citrus zest, white blossom, and a hint of honeysuckle. The palate is concentrated and lively, balancing crisp acidity with flavors of lemon curd, green apple, and pear. Subtle oak and a streak of minerality lend texture and depth. The finish is long, refined, and elegant.
About the Winery/Winemaker
Founded in 1986, Eola Hills Wine Cellars is a cornerstone of Oregon winemaking, known for producing site-driven wines from the heart of the Willamette Valley. Their Chardonnay comes from estate vineyards rooted in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA—an area prized for its cool climate and complex volcanic soils. Barrel fermented and aged in French oak (20% new) for nine months, this wine is a balance of freshness, finesse, and texture.
Why We Love It
This wine captures everything we love about Oregon Chardonnay: crisp fruit, layered texture, and a sense of place. It’s serious enough for food pairings—roast chicken, creamy pastas, grilled seafood—but still bright and elegant enough to enjoy on its own. A polished expression of the Willamette Valley’s rising star white.
