Dan Chapel’s program featuring an estate vineyard that celebrated its 40th year of life in 2023 earned its 17th career Platinum this past fall. All of those have been with Pinot Noir, yet this is the first for a rosé by our 2021 Oregon Winery of the Year. The blend of Pommard (80%) and Dijon 777 clones was harvested specifically for rosé, and its light aromas of light cherry and peach matches what’s experienced on the medium-bodied palate. It’s a rosé offering a mouth-watering finish with a splash of Montmorency cherry. Qualifying award: Oregon Wine Awards (gold)
