Trade Tools
America / Oregon
The first Chardonnay produced by Résonance. Sourced from one of the most famed and noteworthy vineyards in all of Oregon, the Hyland Vineyard Chardonnay beautifully blends classic Oregon styled Chardonnay with traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques in a seamless wine that wows upon immediate release and after aging.
Harvest Note
The growing season was especially warm and dry in 2016, giving perfect condition of maturity. The grapes were ripe and flavors well-developed. Hyland Vineyard Chardonnay grapes have been picked on the last day of harvest and pressed the same day (September 9th) . 2016 reveals a pure and complex Chardonnay, with a nice acidity.
Tasting Note
A brilliant gold color wine. The nose is pure with citrus and yellow fruits aromas, white flowers and fine spicies. The palate is pure too and well-balanced between the freshness of the acidity and the roundness of the alcohol. The minerality has a substantial presence and is very expressive, giving a nice fresh finale.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
