The It’s All White!Collection showcases the very best of the Columbia Gorge and Columbia Valley white wines.
Our 2023 Necessity White is a delicious white blend of Estate Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Unique and refreshing and as Thomas Jefferson said, “good wine is a necessity of life.” Aromas of peach and freshly picked apple. The palate is rich and full, with notes of honey dew melon and lemon. A crisp, juicy, honey crisp apple finish.
Our 2023 Chardonnay is sourced from the fabled McDuffee Vineyard in The Dalles, OR., part of the Columbia Valley AVA. The wine was aged for 18 months in the barrel and showcases their delicious fruit. This vintage opens with a creamy pear texture showcasing ripe pear and complimented by subtle notes of toasted hazelnuts.
Our 2022 Pinot Gris is Estate grown from 30 year old vines grown in our dusty loamy soil. Sourced from the Columbia Gorge AVA where the warm days and cooler nights are conducive to produce vibrant, fresh white wines. The wine opens with fresh aromas of ripe apple and citrus. The palate is crisp and
bright with notes of juicy grapefruit leading to a mouth watering, dry finish. Your “Summer time in a glass” a perfect wine for hot summer sipping.
Our 2022 Riesling is estate grown in the Columbia Gorge AVA. A light bodied, off-dry Riesling grown in cooler regions the Columbia Gorge AVA. This produces a Riesling resembling its native German qualities where the grapes ripen to optimal sugar levels and retain the fruit’s unique acidity. The opening notes of this 2022 vintage are bright and fresh with aromas of honeysuckle, lemon and subtle minerality. The palate is crisp apple and lemonade. A juicy, crisp, mouth watering lemon finish with a sustaining, lingering acidity. If you love margaritas, then this wine if for you! The team at Cathedral Ridge think this is an exceptional vintage.
