Winemaker Notes
The true alternative to Chardonnay. Our Sauvignon Blanc is stylistically made to mimic those coming from "Down Under." Stainless steel fermented to retain the freshness and character of Sauv. Blanc. Fruit quality and yeast selection combine to create a soft appealing Sauv. Blanc that is not overly aggressive.
Food and Wine Pairing: This lively wine with its distinctive citrus notes and lingering finish is a natural companion to fresh shellfish. Raw oysters, chilled crab or scallop seviche all seem to embrace the clean fresh acidity of this wine. Also, try this wine with light Asian appetizers such as potstickers or spring rolls.
Alcohol: 12.5%
Tom Huggins, founder and general manager of Eola Hills, had a dream rooted in facts. He knew that great wines could only come from great vineyards, and through his former occupation as a agricultural insurance expert, he knew where that precious vineyard land was located. This knowledge enabled him to purchase some of the prime sites for his own vineyards in the rolling terrain of the Northwest Willamette Valley of Oregon, and to fulfill a dream of creating his own wine.
Situated in a natural weather shadow of the Coast Range, which shunts storms from the Pacific Ocean north to Portland and south below Salem, the Eola Hills vineyards are protected from weather extremes. Yet in summer, a gorge carved by ancient glaciers draws in maritime air to provide ideal cooling for sensitive varietals in those warmer months.
