Siduri Willamette Valley Chardonnay

Winery Notes
Siduri, named for the Babylonian goddess of wine, is the result of our founders, Adam Lee and Dianna Novy’s, mutual love of Pinot Noir, and their dream that they could make great wines of their own. They spent years working at small, family-owned wineries and using any and all free time learning everything they could about growing grapes and making wine. In 1994, they released the inaugural vintage of Siduri to critical acclaim. Today, Siduri’s breadth and depth of Pinot Noirs is truly unique. We specialize in cool-climate Pinot Noir, producing single-vineyard designate wines from over twenty exceptional vineyard sites stretching from California’s Santa Barbara County to the Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Our winemaking goal is to produce wine that best captures the distinct flavor and character of a given vineyard site. Whenever possible we let the wine make itself. We do not want to do anything to the wine that isn’t absolutely necessary. We believe in bottling our wines un-filtered and un-fined. In the vast majority of cases we have been able to achieve this, with only a handful being filtered, and none of the Pinot Noirs being fined. We avoid these techniques as we believe they have the potential to strip a wine of its flavor. We believe that the best Pinot Noirs express their origins. But perhaps most importantly, we believe that wine should be a pleasure, that serious wine and serious fun aren’t mutually exclusive. So in our drive to make great Pinot Noir, we ultimately hope for something relatively simple—good wine to be enjoyed with good friends, good family and good food.

This white wine offers aromas of white flowers, orange blossom, and stone fruits. Lemon backed by pineapple with hints of brioche and vanilla follow on the palate with vibrant acidity and a long finish.

Vineyard Notes
The Siduri Willamette Valley Chardonnay has that “deliciousness” factor we always strive for. This white wine is a blend from our three favorite vineyards in Oregon, where picking is flavor-based and focused on brightness, with roundness and volume coming from barrel stirring and sur lie aging. The resulting wine is a harmonious blend that offers up freshness in spades, backed by mouthwatering acidity and richness that begs for another sip.
