Dusky Goose
Since 2002, Dusky Goose has called the Dundee Hills home.

Wine Notes
Sourced from Fennwood Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and Coulee Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, our Chardonnay is harvested in two picks to achieve a perfect balance of acidity and richness. Whole-cluster pressed, the wine is aged for 11 months in a blend of 34% new French oak and 66% neutral French oak barrels, enhancing its depth and complexity.

Time is the ultimate luxury, and the finest wines reveal their greatness through their evolution with age. Dusky Goose wines are no exception. Each vintage, we reserve select cases for extended cellaring, offering a rare chance to revisit exceptional vintages through limited release offerings.
Our Dundee Origins
Dusky Goose was founded in 2002 in Dundee—the heart of Oregon’s premier winegrowing region—by John and Linda Carter.
From the start, their goal was to craft unforgettable, age-worthy wines that could stand alongside the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Old World.
