Sensory Description:
The 2021 Cristom 'Estate' Chardonnay is distinguished by its radiant golden hue and complex aroma profile featuring white flowers, toasted hazelnuts, and flint. On the palate, it presents a rich tapestry of ripe pear, lemon curd, and a whisper of spice, with a creamy texture derived from partial malolactic fermentation. The oak integration is masterfully executed, adding a subtle toastiness that complements the wine’s natural vibrancy and minerality. The finish is long and elegantly structured, promising a wine that not only delights upon release but will continue to develop depth over time.
Winemaker’s Background:
The Cristom Vineyards legacy is deeply rooted in a commitment to biodynamic and organic farming, with an eye toward the long-term sustainability of their land. Under the guidance of the Gerrie family, the vineyard's focus on low yields, whole-cluster fermentation, and native yeasts helps to produce wines that are expressive of their terroir. This approach ensures that each vintage captures the essence of the vineyard's east-facing volcanic slopes in the Eola-Amity Hills.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve this Chardonnay chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F) to best enjoy its delicate nuances. It pairs beautifully with sophisticated dishes like grilled salmon, roasted chicken, or creamy pasta dishes. Although not typically requiring decanting, doing so may enhance its aromatic profile.
The 2021 Cristom 'Estate' Chardonnay stands as a shining example of Oregon winemaking at its finest, offering a compelling blend of tradition, innovation, and a profound respect for the natural environment. This wine is not just a beverage; it's a piece of Cristom Vineyards' history and a reflection of their commitment to excellence that will endure for generations.
