2023 Salem Wine Co Chardonnay
There are Chardonnays that sit politely in the corner… and then there are Chardonnays like this one — bright-eyed, wind-swept, and quietly confident. The 2023 Salem Wine Co. Eola–Amity Hills Chardonnay comes from one of Oregon’s most famous wind tunnels, the Van Duzer Corridor, where cool ocean air rushes through the vines every afternoon. The result? A wine that’s equal parts brightness and depth, like candlelight reflecting off a still pool.
Expect a style that’s fresh but generous, the kind of Chardonnay that can win over both the “I only drink crisp whites” crowd and the “give me texture, please” people.
You’ll get notes of lemon peel, white peach, pear skin, and a little golden apple, wrapped in a gentle creaminess. There’s no heavy oak here — just a whisper of structure and a clean, mineral finish that reminds you this came from cool Oregon soils.
