Welcome to Wine Smart: Destination Willamette Chardonnay, a 3 part special edition. The Willamette Valley has been on a journey since the 1970s to reach a defined style that expresses the grape within the context of the region. The panel joining me to discuss the journey and the destination is filled by:
David Adelsheim, Founder of Adelsheim Vineyard
Adam Campbell, Winemaker and Owner of Elk Cove Vineyards
Meredith McGough, Winemaker at Union Wine Company
Brent Stone, COO and Winemaker of King Estate
Nate Klostermann, Winemaker of Argyle Winery
Elizabeth Clark, Director of Education and Experience at Adelsheim Vineyard
This is part one where we explore soil and climate factors of Willamette in relation to Chardonnay.
