Stoller 'Estate' Reserve Chardonnay 2016

For Bill Stoller, purchasing the family property brought his connection to the estate full circle. Working the family farm in his youth and serving as a partner at their sister winery, Chehalem, Bill understood that the sloped, rocky terrain with low-yielding soil, would be ideally suited for a world-class vineyard.

Bill’s father and uncle purchased this farm in 1943 to raise turkeys. Over the next five decades, they grew the farm from a small family operation into one of Oregon’s largest with nearly 700,000 free-range turkeys at its peak. When the family farm ceased its operations in 1993, Bill seized the opportunity to acquire it with the vision of cultivating an enduring legacy for his land and Oregon's wine industry.
