Captivating aromas of puff pastry, preserved lemon and brûléed pear galette. The palate is ample and full with a nimble minerality to finish.
“Freshness and acidity wrap around understated power and grip, the wine skillfully textured to reveal layers of elegance and finesse. Light-bodied, it should continue to age well over the next 7-10 years.”- Virginie Boone from Jeb Dunnuck
“Drawn from DuBrul, French Creek, and Olsen vineyards, the 2023 Valdemar Estates Entre Nosotros Chardonnay, Yakima Valley, was fermented in barrel over 22 days and raised for 15 months in French oak, 20% new, with weekly lees stirring shaping its breadth and detail. Rather than relying on sheer richness, it moves with a finely tuned line of acidity that carries green pear, preserved lemon, and wet stone through a light-bodied yet quietly authoritative frame. There is a subtle phenolic tension here, giving the mid-palate a gentle hold and lending dimension to its polished finish.” – Jeremy Young, 94 Points, International Wine Report
Crafted by intentional vineyard selection, this wine draws from two key vineyards in the Yakima valley that have a legacy for growing top-quality Chardonnay: DuBrul and French Creek vineyards.

This bottle bursts with aromas of Anjou pear, apple blossoms, fresh pineapple, and kumquat. Brilliantly vivid, layered, and precise, with a crisp, lively mid-palate.
“One of the better Washington Chardonnays I’ve tasted, the 2022 Entre Nosotros from Valdemar sports a light lemon core moving to a silver rim in the glass. Lush aromas and flavors of yellow flowers, sweet spice, fresh apricot and white peach, wet clay, and blanched almonds are all beautifully combined. Lush, elegant, and downright delicious, this should cellar well for the next 7-8 years.” -Jeremy Young, 94 Points, International Wine Report
“Ripe stone fruits, white flowers, and toasted spice notes all emerge from the 2022 Chardonnay Entre Nosotros, a medium-bodied, round, layered, beautifully textured Chardonnay that has terrific purity, nicely integrated oak, and outstanding length. As with all of Valdemar’s releases, it’s impeccably made and worth checking out.” – Jeb Dunnuck
Through intentional vineyard selection, this wine shows a captivating expression of Washington Chardonnay; each component from Gamache, French Creek, Olsen and DuBrul vineyards highlights sub-regions of the Columbia Valley known for their well-established, long-standing history of growing great Chardonnay.

Grounded in the strong belief that great wines are born in the vineyard. With Five Generations of Winemaking Legacy in Spain, Our Pioneering Spirit led us to Washington State.
Over 125 years ago, Joaquin Martínez Bujanda opened his first winery on a small tract in Oyón. For five generations, the Valdemar Family has been in constant pursuit of creating top quality wines. Their international focus and the creation of the first non-American winery in the state of Washington represent the natural continuation of this irrepressible urge to travel, taste, and discover new lands.
Founded in 2019, Valdemar Estates seamlessly blends modern design with natural elegance. Our balcony features a 58-foot waterfall wall and a 386-square-foot reflection pool. In our wine production facility, we have an indoor crush pad, one of the only in the region. And of course, guests can enjoy our wines and tapas while taking in the breathtaking views of the Blue Mountains.
Our goal is simple: to craft exceptional wines sourced from the finest vineyards in Washington and Oregon. Combining old-world elegance with a fresh, bold spirit, we create wines that truly embody their origins. Each bottle authentically captures the unique sense of place.
“We’ve made wine in Spain for the past five generations, and we plan to make wine in Walla Walla for five generations to come.” — Jesús Martínez Bujanda, 5th Generation CEO
