Produced from the estate’s iconic, sustainably farmed vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills, this wine is a "traditional method" sparkler that captures the electric acidity and volcanic minerality of the Willamette Valley. This is the current release, 8 years of gaining, for 30. Come on, it drinks better than a lot of champagnes, talk about elegance and value.

This is Classic Blanc de Blancs elegance, as in 100% Chardonnay. You’ll find Granny Smith apple, Meyer lemon zest, layered with sophisticated "tertiary" notes of brioche, shortbread, and wet stone. Precise and "vertical." The bubbles are fine and persistent, with a nutty, creamy texture (from its time on the lees) that is sliced through by a laser-like acidity. A long, clean, and intensely saline finish leaves a mouthwatering mineral impression that is the hallmark of the Seven Springs terroir.

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.
