WINE DESCRIPTION

St. Innocent Freedom Hill Vineyard Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by St. Innocent Winery, known for their exceptional wines. The grapes are sourced from the Freedom Hill Vineyard, located in the Eola-Amity Hills appellation of Oregon. The vineyard features well-drained volcanic soils and a cool climate, which allows for slow ripening and optimal flavor development. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with the wine being aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with notes of citrus, apple, and pear, complemented by a subtle oak influence. It is a perfect representation of the unique terroir of the Eola-Amity Hills and a must-try for Chardonnay lovers.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This St. Innocent Freedom Hill Vineyard Chardonnay is a medium-bodied white wine with aromas of ripe yellow apples and lemon zest.The palate is full and creamy, with flavors of ripe pear, toasted nuts, and a hint of butterscotch. The finish is long and inviting, with a lingering hint of oak. This Chardonnay is an excellent choice for any occasion.

ORIGINS

Winery: St. Innocent

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.
