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 AVA, our chardonnay fruit is harvested in two picks which brings excellent balance to the wine, maintaining acidity as well as richness of flavor. Dusky Goose Chardonnay is whole cluster pressed and aged in 30% new French oak and 70% neutral French oak barrels for 9 months.

Improving With Age
Dundee Hills Pinot Noir
Time is the ultimate luxury and the best wines in the world self-identify by their improvement with age. Dusky Goose wines are no exception. Each vintage, we earmark a selection of cases to be sold after extended cellaring. This is your opportunity to get a last look at bygone exceptional vintages in limited release offerings.
Our Dundee Origins
Dusky Goose was founded in 2002 in Dundee – Oregon’s premier winegrowing region, by John and Linda Carter.
The object from the beginning was to make memorable, age-worthy wines that rival the best examples of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Old World.
