CHARDONNAY 2024

August 2025 White Wine of the Month
Crafted exclusively for our Wine Club, this vintage of Chardonnay hails from the famed vineyards of Washington’s Columbia Valley—an area celebrated for its pristine fruit and expressive terroir.

Fermented slowly at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, the wine captures a crisp, vibrant freshness. It was then aged on its fine lees for three months, lending a creamy texture and added complexity. To elevate its richness and roundness, a portion was aged up to four months in French oak.

The result is a Chardonnay that is both ripe and elegant—creamy, yet perfectly balanced—a true testament to patience, craftsmanship, and the beauty of the Columbia Valley.
