Variety: Chardonnay
Evening Land’s Seven Springs Vineyard is one of the oldest and most sought-after sites in the Willamette Valley. Al MacDonald planted the vines in 1984 next to the Douglas fir trees that surround the northern section of the property. The vineyard has always been dry-farmed and is positioned to capture the cold air from the Pacific that enters the valley through the Van Duzer Corridor, just to the north of the appellation. Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman are two of the top names in the wine world today, and recently they obtained 100% control of the site. With their vigilant oversight and visionary stance on winemaking, the quality of these wines continues to elevate.
This is just about the best that Seven Springs Vineyard has to offer. La Source is a smaller portion of the broader site with volcanic soil full of iron-forward rocks and pebbles; a true representation of its place. This spends 12 months in puncheons (smaller barrels) and another six months in tank.
