Finally! This 2018 vintage is our very first estate Chardonnay! Picked early to preserve a zesty acidity, the wine was naturally fermented in neutral French oak and aged in these same barriques for over ten months before bottling. On the nose, the wine is very expressive and shows bright stone fruit with notes of lilac and pear. On the palate, the taste is supple and polished, offering an elegant structure that leads to a clean finish teeming with minerals and wet stone-like flavors. With only 320 cases made, this beauty will go fast!
“Plenty of attractive aromas of ripe nectarines and peaches here, framed in gently savory elements. The palate has a very succulent, fresh feel with a smooth, juicy impression at the finish. Drink or hold.” 93pts | JamesSuckling.com
If you enjoyed our 2018 Friulano, you are going to love the new edition of this unusual white Italian varietal grown on our Trovato Vineyard in Yamhill. Who needs to go to the Caribbean Islands when you can get a wine so packed with tropical fruit notes and lusciousness and yet be deliciously dry? Its sleek acidity and brightness will be a perfect pairing for an ocean sunset…even if it is on your flat screen TV.

Accolades for the 2018 vintage: The 2018 Tocai Friulano Trovato Vineyard is scented of bruised apple and baked quince with nuances of elderflower, musk melon, baker's yeast and crushed stone. The medium-bodied palate is rounded and juicy with a long, refreshing floral-tinged finish." 91 pts ~ Robert Parker Wine Advocate (Sold Out)
