South facing, our Rogue Valley Vineyard Estate is located at the northern end of the Rogue Valley. With elevations ranging from 700 to 1800 feet, the primarily ancient volcanic and alluvial fan soils provide well drained, nutrient rich soils which are ideal for growing premium wine grapes.
Our Chardonnay is fermented in French oak barrels with 10% in new French oak for additional structure and aromatics. Part of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation retaining some malic acid to uplift the freshness of the wine while the lactic acid finishes the wine with a light buttery flavor and texture. The wine is then aged for approximately 8 months before being prepared for bottling.
