Evening Land La Source Chardonnay

• Grape: Chardonnay
• Region: Oregon, USA
• Biodynamic
• Palate: 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. 

About the winemaker

“Evening Land produces some of the best Chardonnay in not only Oregon, but all of North America, and their whole lineup showcases the impressive winemaking talents of Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman.” - International Wine Report

Willamette Valley in Oregon is often compared to Burgundy, for the challenging growing conditions, varietals planted, and the qualityminded smaller scale producers that have chosen to work here. It is therefore not surprising that super sommelier Raj Parr and winemaker Sashi Moorman decided to base their second joint venture here.

Evening Land estate, whose vineyard is known as ‘Seven Springs’ is planted overwhelmingly to Pinot Noir, followed by Chardonnay, and Gamay. The oldest own-rooted blocks of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are a testament to, and daily reminder of, Oregon’s incredible winemaking history. Benchmark Oregon producers have long sourced fruit from Seven Springs and the wines from this vineyard are the most decorated and award-winning Oregon wines.
