Tasting Notes

The Chenin Blanc offers a nose of quince, white pear, and lemon, complemented by subtle honeysuckle notes.  On the palate, this wine is layered with notes of lemon, quince, pear, and apple pith, which is perfectly balanced with a lively acidity.  The finish is textured, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.

Blend Information

100% Chenin

In The Vineyard

This old vine Chenin blanc is a blend of our oldest vineyards on the property.  The vineyards were planted in 1974 and 1979 respectively.  Grapes are hand harvested and cooled overnight.

In The Cellar

Fermentation occurred spontaneously in 300L oak and foudré. The wine was aged in older oak, on the lees, for 10 months.  The wine received its first dose of SO2, once racked out of barrel, prior to bottling.
