Evening Land Summum Chardonnay

• Grape: Chardonnay
• Region: Oregon, USA
• Biodynamic
• Tasting notes: An inviting and expressive nose of lemon curd, sea salt and melon primes the palate for nothing short of an explosion of flavor. Salted stone fruit and a dapple of burrata widen and become three-dimensional while simultaneously locking into breakneck speed. Expansive in texture and blistering in acidity, the finish propels itself forward. Simply put, all of the necessary components to vibrant, balanced Chardonnay are here. It will age gracefully.

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.
