2021 Evening Land 'Seven Springs - La Source' Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills
Winemaker Notes: When it comes to Chardonnay, the Evening Land balancing act may be at is best here. Friendly and fresh, it is effortlessly open and pleasurable. Roundness with ripe fruit meet a lightning bolt of minerality for a Chardonnay of any occasion. Myriad yellow fruits – citrus, tree, tropical – merge with apple butter and salted biscuit, and the palate follows suit, lending acidity that slices through these elements with precision and a warm flicker of baking spice.
At Evening Land Vineyards, we strive to make wines that reflect the essence of the vineyard from which they come. This is done through highlighting the unique conjunction between a specific place, nature, and a distinct moment in time. We work with one unique and exceptional vineyard site, Seven Springs Estate, and seek to reflect its greatness in each bottle produced at our hands. The history and natural beauty of Seven Springs were the initial draws to this majestic vineyard site. Here, freshwater flows with abundance, and clay-rich soils foster conditions for warm, dry summers. To capture the essence of this compelling place in a glass of wine is one of nature’s many gifts.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - "This crisp Chardonnay has all the acidity and minerality one could hope for. Lemon basil, cashew and pear aromas float through the air, with a fresh scent reminiscent of sheets washed with French laundry powder hanging on a clothesline. Lime, baked apple and peach scone flavors are equally enticing."
