- Buy any 12 bottles or Build a Case® and save!
A single barrel of Chardonnay aged for three years, lavishly rich and textured yet blazingly fresh and mouthwatering, I'd put this up against anything else from the Willamette Valley at a comparable price and it would more than hold its own. I've now had Sempervirens on three separate occasions, each and all with the same conclusion: a stunning achievement, Jon and Boyd! -Marcus
Redolent: The release of our 2021 SEMPERVIRENS Chardonnay begins a new chapter in our winemaking journey. A single barrel, originally part of the 2021 ‘This Must Be The Place’ Chardonnay from Vivid Vineyard, stood out for its potential to evolve into something extraordinary. Aged on lees for three years, this micro-production Chardonnay reflects the essence of patience and care. The SEMPERVIRENS label, Coastal Redwood tree rings, symbolizes the story of time—each ring a record of growth, rest, and resilience. Just as these rings chronicle the life of a tree, this wine tells a story of time, devotion, and the balance of nature and nurture. A wine destined to age gracefully for decades.
The aromatic profile of this Chardonnay highlights a slightly more pronounced wood influence than our other Chards, followed by scents of citrus zest, lavender, and wet stone that blend with a hazelnut crème brûlée aroma, enhancing the yellow fruit character. As the wine breathes, these aromas become even more defined. On the palate, notes of peach blossom, yellow plum, golden delicious, nectarine, and lemon are balanced by bright acidity and a stony, citrus-driven energy adds a lively edge. The wine has a rich concentration, yet it glides smoothly with impressive persistence. The finish is long, lingering with toasty layers and stones.
