Single Origin Collection
2023 Royer Chardonnay
Individual Vineyard
A white-wine-focused Eola-Amity Hills vineyard shaped by persistent wind, high-elevation freshness, mineral tension, and luminous Chardonnay character.
The Vineyard
Royer Vineyard sits in the Eola-Amity Hills, where Mark and June Royer began in 2016 with a focus on growing white grapes in Oregon, beginning with Chardonnay and Riesling.
The site is defined by persistent wind and cool marine influence through the Van Duzer Corridor, preserving acidity and giving the wines lift, line, and freshness.
For Chardonnay, Royer speaks through lemon, sea-salt brightness, white florals, pear, mineral drive, and a lean, elegant frame.

Site Character
Royer carries the freshness of the Eola-Amity Hills through a white-wine lens. Persistent wind and cool marine movement help preserve acidity, aromatic lift, and a clean mineral line.
Chardonnay from this site moves through lemon pith, pear, sea salt, dried white florals, and mineral drive, with an elegant frame built on tension rather than weight.
