Details and technical informations about Winery Dion's Estate Chardonnay.
Discover the grape variety: Elbling
Crisp, light dry whites with a pale robe, slender palate and cutting acidity, showing delicate aromas of lemon, green apple, white flowers, fresh-cut grass and mineral, slaty notes. Often vinified as sparkling (Sekt, Crémant) where its nerviness shines. Star of the Luxembourg Upper Moselle schist slopes (Elbling AOP) and the upper German Mosel. Very old Germanic variety, probably introduced by the Romans.

The wine region of Chehalem Mountains
Most geologically diverse AVA of the Willamette Valley (Oregon), peaking at Bald Peak: signature Pinot Noir as red king (~70%) — elegant and complex with notes of cherry, red fruits, earth, game, spices and a mineral touch, fine tannins from red basaltic volcanic (Jory), marine sedimentary (Willakenzie) and aeolian loess soils. Fresh Pinot Gris and Chardonnay in support. AVA (2006), 60-500 m, cool climate, ~1,075 ha across 179 vineyards.
The wine region of Oregon
American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
