Expert Review - Vintage 2023
James Suckling · 92 Points
A subtle and pleasing wine with aromas of ripe pears and white peaches along with some sweet vanilla, caramel and green apples. A clean, easygoing, entry-level wine with bright acidity.
Winemaker Tasting Notes
Gina Hennen · Winemaker
"Wafting notes of yellow apple, Asian pear, crushed cinnamon stick, and lemon thyme rise out of the glass. The palate is pleasantly defined, offering both vibrancy and a delightful plushness. This serves as an excellent introduction to both Adelsheim’s winemaking style and the cool climate Chardonnays of the Willamette Valley at large."
Producer Philosophy
As a founding winery of the Willamette Valley we believe it is our duty to be steadfast stewards of this abundant land and to rally our community in support of equity and education. We have a responsibility to work with our community of partners to amplify muted voices and cultivate communities of inclusion and representation.
Every member of our organization is committed to treading lightly on the earth and supporting our local economy so that our vineyards, our wines, and our people remain here for generations to come.
This commitment is reflected in the five core pillars that guide everything we do:
Wine Quality: Consistently raising the bar
Over 50 years of winemaking have shaped our commitment to quality. From the famous Steamboat Conference to today, we’ve dedicated ourselves to crafting wines that reflect the unique character of the Chehalem Mountains.
For us, quality is non-negotiable. It begins in the vineyard and continues in the cellar, where tradition meets innovation. With each vintage, we refine our techniques, explore new possibilities, and create wines that are more expressive and exciting than the last.
Every bottle is an invitation to taste the result of our relentless pursuit of excellence.
Serving & Pairing Suggestions
Serve chilled in a white wine glass. Try with roast chicken, grilled fish, scallops, or a creamy vegetable pasta.
