WINE DESCRIPTION

King Estate Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by King Estate Winery, located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The winery is known for its sustainable farming practices and use of organic grapes. The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from estate vineyards that benefit from the region's cool climate and volcanic soil, resulting in a wine with bright acidity and minerality. The winemaking process involves barrel fermentation and aging in French oak, which adds complexity and richness to the wine. The style of the wine is elegant and balanced, with notes of citrus, pear, and vanilla. King Estate Chardonnay is a perfect choice for those who appreciate high-quality, sustainably produced wines with a sense of place.

ORIGINS

Winery: King Estate

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.
