“The Canoe Ridge Estate Chardonnay is inherently fresh, vibrant and elegant–and we do what we can in the cellar to push that style. This Chardonnay delivers fresh apple, ripe pear and spice aromas and flavors. The finish is elegant and refined with light spice notes, which are a result of the restrained French oak treatment.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

• An ideal site for Chardonnay, the vineyard at Canoe Ridge Estate lies on the north bank of the Columbia River in Washington state’s Horse Heaven Hills AVA.
• The site’s proximity to the river protects it from temperature extremes, allowing uniform ripening and excellent color development.
• Soils are sandy with bits of cobblestone and have low water-holding capacity, enabling precise control of vine growth through drip irrigation and canopy management.
