2023 Tyee Estate Chardonnay
Fresh | Mineral | Old Vine
The 2023 Tyee Estate Chardonnay is an unoaked expression crafted entirely from own rooted, dry farmed vines over 30 years old at Tyee Wine Cellars. Grown in the estate vineyard in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, these mature vines bring depth and character while preserving natural freshness.
Aromas of vanilla bean and lemon meringue rise from the glass, supported by a clean mineral thread. The palate is bright and focused, showing lively acidity, subtle texture, and a crisp finish that reflects both site and careful handling.
