The 2023 Siduri Chardonnay comes from two Willamette Valley sites: the Gran Moraine Vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton and the Maple Grove Vineyard in the southern end of the Willamette Valley: honeyed aromas, peach fuzz and sweet poached pear. On the palate, it offers a ripe depth of stone fruit that balances the salty minerality with lovely peach and nectarine flesh and a piquant lemon pulp finish. Drinking Window: 2025 – 2029.

Aromas of peach and vanilla wafer lead to a cinnamon toast and lemon wedge profile. Crushed stone and Italian herbs keep the momentum going creating added layers.
Winemaker Notes
This is the first foray of Siduri, the Pinot Noir specialist, into making a Chardonnay. Reflecting Siduri’s signature style of nice palate weight and firm structure, this Chardonnay also exudes loads of freshness and acidity. The wine opens with a bouquet of white flowers, orange blossom and stone fruit. It has a round, rich palate that bursts with Meyer Lemon, backed by pineapple and hits of brioche and vanilla. A harmonious blend of Chardonnay sourced from multiple vineyards, this wine’s mouthwatering acidity and long, succulent finish will have you pining for another sip.
