Vineyard
Roserock Vineyard is located at the southern part of the Eola-Amity Hills, in the southern Willamette Valley. The soils are volcanic, ancient, with an elevation between 120 and 260 meters above sea level. This ideal position thus benefits from a rather unique cooling effect called the Van Duzer corridor and which makes it possible to produce classic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, typical of cool climates. Roserock is certified « Low Input Viticulture Environment » for sustainable viticulture.

Tasting
by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
Nice bouquet with intense floral notes and a discreet touch of hazelnuts. Nice dynamics in the mouth. A wine that has a generous breadth and an attractive finish.
Vintage
In 2024, a cool spring led to a slower start, but warm, dry conditions through summer and fall set the stage for an outstanding vintage. The vines ripened beautifully, with minimal disease pressure and ideal acidity. Harvest began on September 23 under perfect conditions. Véronique is already calling 2024 a standout year, with vibrant, balanced wines to come.
Winemaking
Our Roserock Chardonnay brings together the estate’s three Chardonnay blocks, which are handpicked and sorted. The Chardonnay is pressed immediately and sent in equal parts to tank and barrel. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, Véronique assembles the two portions into her final cuvée.
