The 2022 Evening Land Seven Springs Chardonnay is a refined Chardonnay from the iconic Seven Springs Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon. Whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak barriques and Austrian Stockinger puncheons, it captures the purity of this cool-climate, volcanic site. The nose is fresh and expressive with aromas of green apple, pear, lemon zest and white flowers, complemented by hints of cream, baking spice and wet stone.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture, bright acidity and impressive mineral tension. Flavours of crisp apple, citrus, white peach and subtle vanilla are supported by delicate oak and a long, elegant finish. Beautifully balanced and energetic, it offers both immediate appeal and the structure to develop further complexity with bottle age.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a vibrant, cool-climate Chardonnay with finesse and purity. Pair it with grilled prawns, roast chicken, seared scallops or creamy seafood pasta. Enjoy now for its freshness, or cellar for 8–12 years to reveal greater depth and complexity.
