2020 Utopia Estate Chardonnay | Ribbon Ridge AVA | Willamette Valley The 2020 Utopia Estate Chardonnay is a rich and elegantly structured expression of Ribbon Ridge terroir. Crafted from estate-grown fruit, gently whole-cluster pressed, barrel fermented in French oak, and aged on fine lees, this Chardonnay showcases layers of Golden Delicious apple, poached pear, Meyer lemon, and white peach accented by notes of brioche, toasted hazelnut, vanilla, and baking spice. A creamy texture and vibrant acidity create remarkable balance, while subtle mineral nuances carry through a long, refined finish. This limited-production Chardonnay beautifully combines Burgundian-inspired winemaking with the distinctive character of the Willamette Valley.

The 2020 Estate Chardonnay highlights graceful aromas of lemon chiffon, apple and green pear layered with floral notes of white flowers. These enticing notes make their way to the palate, meeting a vibrant minerality and acidity that is brilliantly balanced. This wine showcases the best of Oregon chardonnay in this captivating blend of low-yielding Dijon clones.
