Chardonnay
G3 is a tribute to the three generations of the Monson family to have farmed in the Columbia Valley for more than a century.
Tasting Notes
Our 2022 G3 Chardonnay is carefully crafted to capture the essence of our estate vineyard. This wine opens with a delicate bouquet of tangerine, pear, lemon zest, and a touch of baking spices. On the palate, a well-balanced interplay of citrus and orchard fruit flavors is complemented by a subtle minerality. A textured mid palate, vibrant, juicy acidity, and a nuanced, lingering finish are all accentuated by intense notes of nectarine, melon, and citrus throughout.
Vintage Notes
The fruit for this wine was sourced from some of the premier north-blocks of the estate. Being a cooler vintage, the fruit was harvested a little later in the season with ripe, intense flavors supported by fantastic acidity.
Winemaking
This blend is comprised of a selection of individual barrel fermented and aged lots along with stainless steel fermented and aged lots. This creates a wine that possesses a nice balance of spice and toast from the barrels, while respecting and highlighting the fruit. Aged for 10 months in 20% new oak.
