Winemaker Notes
Situated on a small wooded Willamette Valley knoll near Carlton, Rivenwood Vineyard consistently produces a rich, reserve quality Chardonnay. After barrel fermentation, the dense ripe berries yield a finely textured, aromatic wine reminiscent of citrus, honey and vanilla.
Food and Wine Pairing: This rich textured wine with its creamy finish matches well with a variety of foods. Try it with grilled Portobello Mushrooms topped with a Montrachet goat cheese sauce. A poached salmon with caiar and Champagne cream topping or a salad of salmon. Hard cheeses, shrimp & poultry are other foods you might also try with this wine.
Alcohol: 13.5%

Spectator
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.
