In the late summer of 2015, a last minute change in plans led a couple from Chicago - Teal Walker & Andrew Riechers - to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. They made an appointment at one of their favorite wineries, a bottle of which they shared on their first date. Over the course of a three and a half hour tasting, only two and a half hours longer than planned, they came to know a young winemaker there who shared his enthusiasm for the world of wine while pulling cork after cork. A mutual love of culinary and vinous experience was exchanged along with parallel perspectives about fine wine, its crafting and enjoyment.

They left finding themselves struck with the energy and beauty of the valley, its wines, and the possibility of a life they never dreamt of. Leaning on winemaker Andrew Riechers’ relationships with farmers and vineyard owners throughout the valley, a small brand was formed around a handful of rows, in a few of the most challenging and compelling vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley.

Seven Springs was originally planted in 1983 on an east facing slope in the Eola-Amity Hills. Over the years it has produced some of Oregon’s most iconic wines in the deft hands of a great lineage of stewards. It is farmed biodynamically without irrigation. Audeant works with one half acre of Chardonnay on the south ridge. Three barrels in total produced each year from seven rows at the most hallowed chardonnay vineyard in Oregon.
