GENNY'S VINEYARD
Chardonnay
Winemaking Information
From the use of natural yeast & modest oaking, extended
sur lee aging and bottling without filtration and fining,
John Kongsgaard’s wine making style favors minimal intervention.
The resulting wine has great varietal integrity, flavor intensity,
complexity and structure -an expression of the grape rather
than the ego of the winemaker.
Tasting Notes
This wine is delightfully rich with great aromas of
fig, hazelnut and pear. The palate shows hints of apple and
pear with some spicy oak. The acidity carries the long complex
finish.
