“The Canoe Ridge Estate Chardonnay exhibits fresh, vibrant and elegant characteristics. This wine is all about the “Canoe” style of Chard; fruit forward aromas of melon and gala apples on the nose lead into a creamy yet delicate palate. The finish is elegant and refined with light spice components, which are a result of the restrained French oak treatment.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

- An ideal site for Chardonnay, the vineyard at Canoe Ridge Estate lies on the north bank of the Columbia River in Washington state’s Horse Heaven Hills AVA.
- The site’s proximity to the river protects it from temperature extremes, allowing uniform ripening and excellent color development.
- Soils are sandy with bits of cobblestone and have low waterholding capacity, enabling precise control of vine growth through drip irrigation and canopy management.
