2023 Bergström Vyd Chardonnay
Planted 1999 * Dundee Hills AVA * Elevation: 380ft
Our original estate and our family’s North Star located in the iron-rich volcanic soils of the Dundee Hills. The Bergström Vineyard is 13 acres of south and southeast facing vines bathing in the cool northerly sunlight and overlooking the expansive and rich Willamette Valley stretching south for one hundred miles. Optimum elevation and exposure provides ideal ripening potential for our most powerful, yet elegant expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, annually adorned with flowers, fruit, savory herbs and spices, and ferrous minerals.

Winemaker Notes
Updated February 2025
The grand return of the single vineyard estate bottling of Chardonnay from the Bergstrom Vineyard boasts an incredible concentration of spice and stone fruit. Rich with nuanced scents of barrel spice, cardamom, and caraway. Lush white peaches and just ripe nectarines plucked straight from the tree. The exotic allure of sandalwood incense creates an enticing and complex bouquet. This wine is full-bodied with a spicy vibrancy reminiscent of juicy nectarines and salted ginger snap cookies like you would find in grandmother’s kitchen. The brilliant texture coats the palate, offering a sumptuous, rich, and supple mouthfeel. Warming spice and stone fruit layer the finish, and each sip offers mouthwatering succulence.
