L’Atelier, meaning “workshop” in French, was sparked in 2016 through a collaboration with award-winning Austrian winemaker Stefan Wellanschitz, marking the beginning of an annual tradition that draws inspiration from around the globe. With this label, we venture beyond the celebrated realms of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to embrace the diverse tapestry of Oregon viticulture, embodying our relentless pursuit of knowledge and our passion for pushing the boundaries of conventional winemaking. 

Crisp and lean on the tongue, L’Atelier Chenin Blanc has a very taut line, with green apple fruit, quince, tarragon, and a juicy citrus quality that finishes long and bright. This wine pairs beautifully with classic salmon and beurre blanc, grilled sardines, smoked mackerel or whitefish, and most oily fish dishes. Each year, the winemaking team selects a different variety based on their interest in the traditions of Old World regions. This is their joyful exploration.
