Description
Rose Rock is the Chardonnay from Domaine Drouhin's Eola-Amity Hills estate in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The 2023 vintage comes from a vineyard site that balances ripeness against mineral tension, with the wine itself split between oak and stainless steel aging to preserve freshness alongside complexity.
This is a medium-bodied Chardonnay with quiet elegance. The nose opens slowly with orchard fruit, white flowers, and hints of beeswax and almond, joined by gentle oak spice. On the palate, you'll find green mango and ripe pear, threaded through with crisp citrus, sea salt, and a flinty mineral edge that carries into the finish. The acidity is vibrant and shimmering, giving the wine a lithe, thirst-quenching character. Decanting allows the wine to unfurl more fully, revealing layers that build with air.

Expert Reviews
The Roserock balances the ripeness of this wine with a great mineral freshness. From the Drouhin, Oregon founded Eola-Amity estate, balanced between oak and stainless steel, its aromas of sweet lemon pulp and flinty crushed stone. The palate continues with lithe green mangoes, sea salt and thirst-slaking lemon pith.
The 2023 Chardonnay has slowly opening aromas of orchard fruit, beeswax and hazelnut and well-integrated oak spice. The medium-bodied palate offers crisp flavors, and vibrant acidity adds a shimmery feel. It opens dramatically with air and will benefit from time in a decanter.
