NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Adelsheim Caitlin's Reserve Chardonnay is an exceptional wine that showcases the best qualities of the Chardonnay grape.On the nose, you can expect enticing aromas of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, along with notes of citrus and vanilla. These aromas are complemented by subtle hints of oak, adding depth and complexity to the wine.
On the palate, this Chardonnay displays a perfect balance between fruitiness and acidity. The tropical fruit flavors continue to shine, accompanied by flavors of apple and pear. The wine has a creamy texture, thanks to its partial malolactic fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The oak influence is well-integrated, providing a touch of vanilla and spice without overpowering the fruit.
The Adelsheim Caitlin's Reserve Chardonnay is a full-bodied wine with a long and satisfying finish. It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including roasted chicken, seafood, and creamy pasta dishes. This wine is best enjoyed slightly chilled, allowing its flavors and aromas to fully develop.

ORIGINS
Winery: Adelsheim
Region: Oregon
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry.
Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
