This seductively salivating blend from the eastfacing Seven Springs hillside vineyard and the west-facing Royer hillside vineyard captures the tension and generosity of Chardonnay from the Eola-Amity Hills. The southwestern slope, directly cooled by the Ocean breezes, contributes riveting acidity and nervousness, while the southeastern slope bestows sun-kissed richness and texture. A fusion of earth’s alchemy, terroir, stewardship, and craftsmanship, this Chardonnay is vibrant, complex, and alluring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINERY: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor more than 30 years, Cristom Vineyards has crafted distinguished wines that honor individual sites and traditional techniques.
