Expressive and defined aromas, with notes of fresh lemon, green apple and white pear. Subtle floral and mineral nuances are integrated and a touch of discreet oak that provides notes of hazelnut and vanilla without overpowering the fruit.
It is precise, with vibrant acidity and creamy texture. The fruit profile is clean and persistent, accompanied by an elegant minerality and a long finish that reflects its balanced aging and the character of the vineyard. Fresh, structured and with great aging potential.
It is a refined and precise expression of Oregon's volcanic terroir, cultivated in the Eola-Amity hills within the renowned Willamette Valley. Sourced from vineyards carefully managed under sustainable and biodynamic practices, this wine represents Cristom's commitment to responsible viticulture and artisanal winemaking.
Made in small batches from selected Chardonnay clones, this wine reflects both the influence of the Pacific Northwest's cool climate and Cristom's winemaking vision, focused on preserving varietal purity and the natural balance of each vintage. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and the use of mostly neutral French oak barrels add texture and depth without overpowering the wine's essence.
Cristom's 2021 Chardonnay is an elegant example of how the New World can combine technical precision with respect for origin, resulting in a sophisticated white wine with a pure character and great longevity. This wine further solidifies Cristom's reputation as one of the Willamette Valley's most consistent and renowned producers.
