Moderate acidity and alcohol, medium bodied. Light golden view with notes of minerality, citrus, green apple, blossom and almonds. World's most famous white wine variety. and also one of the most widely planted across the globe. Can be made in a variety of styles.
When the aroma of peach melba hits, you know you are in for a treat. First off, a cup of chamomile tea touched with a bit of turbinado sugar is a relaxing flavor combination. The Golden Delicious apple and melon flavors are mere bonuses. The wine’s smooth, slippery texture is graced by soft acidity. Pair with a hammock. - Michael Alberty

The 2021 Affinités Chardonnay pops with citrus blossom, lemon curd and quince. These lovely aromatics then give way to hints river rock, fresh rain and baked apples. Minerality and wet stone on the palate unfold to reveal flavors of lemon zest and tart candied apples. Tightly grained French oak nuance and fruit driven intensity add weight and power as the wine continues to drive forward. This impressive Chardonnay is defined by its linear precision and consistent tension. There is a remarkable purity here, an electricity of bound energy that cannot be mistaken for anything other than a wine of significance and ageability.

Founder Jim Bernau traveled with the Oregon Governor's Delegation to Burgundy in the 1980s to seek out French clones to improve our state's Chardonnay quality. These vines were brought back and quarantined at Oregon State University before being propagated for use in Oregon vineyards. Naturally derived Dijon Clones from France being planted in the Willamette Valley was one of the greatest tipping points in Oregon wine quality.
