The Story
Granville, a rising name in the Willamette Valley, crafts site-driven wines with a Burgundian touch, and their Koosah Vineyard Chardonnay is a stunning example of the region’s cool-climate potential. Sourced from a high-elevation vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills, where volcanic soils and Pacific breezes shape the fruit, the 2022 vintage is precise, textured, and deeply expressive.
Meyer lemon, green apple, and pear lead, with layers of crushed oyster shell, hazelnut, and subtle spice from restrained oak aging. The palate is taut and energetic, with crisp acidity giving way to a creamy mid-palate and a lingering, mineral-driven finish. A perfect pairing for roasted seafood, creamy pastas, or a quiet evening appreciating Willamette Valley’s take on world-class Chardonnay.
