Thomas Savre, who trained at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and the Seysses estate, makes the wines. The first vintage was 2015. The Estate Chardonnay is 100% estate-grown in Eola-Amity Hills, on stony, volcanic soils with steep slopes and cooling breezes. The vines are farmed with biodynamic preparations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the glass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJasmine, gardenia, lemon blossom and creamy lemon custard on the nose, with a touch of grapefruit zest.
