Andante Vineyard is located in the Van Duzer Corridor sub-appellation of the Willamette Valley AVA. This first release of Andante estate Chardonnay has an aroma of pear, linalool, and meyer lemon zest. The approach is bright with lively acidity followed by a mid palate creaminess that lingers to the finish.
