MAGNUM - 2023 Chardonnay, Freedom Hill Vineyard

MAGNUM - 2023 Chardonnay, Freedom Hill Vineyard

Mt. Pisgah of Polk County, Willamette Valley

Established in 1982 by Dan and Helen Dusschee and now tended by their son Dustin, the iconic Freedom Hill Vineyard stands as a testament to sustainable stewardship. Tucked into the gentle southeast slope of an uplifted, ancient sedimentary seabed in the Coastal Range, this site is shielded from the Van Duzer wind, resulting in a slightly warmer microclimate compared to the neighboring Eola-Amity Hills.

Freedom Hill’s distinguished terroir is highlighted in the new Mt. Pisgah, Polk County AVA within the expansive Willamette Valley. From this exceptional vineyard, we source 3 blocks of Chardonnay spanning in age from 10 to 30 years. The vines are planted to a mix of Dijon 76 & 95 clones, which we press together and co-ferment.

Owners Dan and Helen Dusschee planted the iconic Freedom Hill Vineyard in 1981. Their son, Dustin, has recently taken over the farming responsibility in yet another generation of sustainable stewardship, maintaining the family legacy. Freedom Hill Vineyard is tucked into the coast range on a gentle southeast slope. Protected from the Van Duzer coastal winds, this vineyard has a warmer climate than those of the neighboring Eola-Amity Hills. The soils here are a sedimentary, uplifted seabed and are thought to be among the oldest in the region. These ancient soils, combined with the vineyard’s microclimate are now recognized as part of a new sub-appellation within the Willamette Valley called Mt. Pisgah of Polk County.
