This organic sparkling white wine is a traditional method bottling crafted from one-hundred percent chardonnay grown in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Sourced from the historic Seven Springs Vineyard, the fruit reflects a low-intervention approach on capturing regional volcanic minerality. Spontaneous primary fermentation is driven by native wild yeasts in neutral wooden casks and stainless steel tanks. It undergoes traditional secondary bottle fermentation and matures for a full eight years on its fine lees before a clean disgorgement.

It pours a pale gold color with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles, opening with clean aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and warm brioche. A creamy yet linear mousse delivers crisp flavors of fresh citrus fruit alongside a vein of mineral salinity. A sharp wave of natural acidity cuts through the structural volume, keeping the texture fresh and vertical. Notes of shortbread and wet stone add depth across mid-palate.

Evening Land Vineyards is an acclaimed estate located in the Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon's Willamette Valley, renowned for its exclusive stewardship of the historic Seven Springs Vineyard. Originally planted in 1984 by Oregon wine pioneer Al MacDonald, the site has become a cornerstone of the region, celebrated for its rocky volcanic soils and cooling Pacific breezes that travel through the Van Duzer Corridor. Since 2014, the project has been led by the highly influential partnership of sommelier Rajat Parr and winemaker Sashi Moorman, who transitioned the estate to focus entirely on fruit from this single vineyard. Their winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, native yeast fermentations, and the use of neutral oak and concrete to preserve the purity and tension of the fruit. The vineyard is farmed according to organic and biodynamic principles, and the wines are categorized into specific tiers like the approachable Seven Springs, the expressive La Source, and the concentrated, high-elevation Summum. While primarily known for world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they also produce notable Gamay Noir, Chenin Blanc, and traditional method sparkling wines, all of which reflect a commitment to transparency and site-specific character.
