Elouan Chardonnay

Elouan is the result of California winemaker, Joseph Wagner, heading North to Oregon, one of the world's renowned Pinot Noir regions and producing Pinot Noir with depth of flavor, vibrancy and suppleness. The name Elouan means "good light", which is reflective of the typically cool summers, yet abundant sunshine found in this northern hemisphere winegrowing region. The unique climate, diversity of soil types and the gentle sunlight influence on both canopy and fruit, form the foundation of this wine's northern character. Delightful flavors of guava, passion fruit, ripe peaches, and buttered popcorn. Pale straw yellow in color Smooth and well-balanced mouth-feel, with a lingering and bright finish The wine is then barrel fermented in French oak (50% new) for 14 months undergoing full malolactic fermentation.
