Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Willamette Valley · 100% Chardonnay · Off-Dry · 750mL

Tasting Notes Lemon, Herbs, Apple

There's a science, but also a bit of magic that goes into blending our Alchemist wines. This Chardonnay is sourced from Lemelson's Johnson Vineyard, tucked into the foothills of the Cascade mountains in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Small-batch and carefully crafted, it is the pinnacle of what we do. Barrel-fermented entirely in French oak to preserve the inherent freshness and brightness of the fruit, this is an elegant and powerful wine built to elevate everyday moments to the realm of art.

After a string of above-average temperature vintages, 2019 was a welcome return to a cooler, wetter year. Mild summer temperatures allowed for long hang time and lower sugar accumulation. A compressed harvest had the team picking during dry windows between rain showers, resulting in wines of low alcohol, vibrant acidity, and beautiful aromatics.

Pairing and Serving Pairs well with roasted chicken, grilled fish, soft cheeses, and mushroom dishes. Serve well chilled at 45 to 50 degrees F. Drink now through 2026.
