We are proud to have produced Dry Chenin Blanc each and every year since our family winery was founded in 1972. For over 30 years, our Chenin Blanc has come from the Wilson Ranch in the Clarksburg appellation. This vineyard has consistently provided us with delicious fruit that expresses our Loire Valley-inspired roots. Extremely versatile and food-friendly, it is the perfect aperitif and one of our most beloved wines.
Fermented in 100% stainless steel, this beautiful wine is wonderfully bright and consistent vintage after vintage. At first swirl, aromatics of honeydew, white peach and jasmine spring forward from the glass, followed with time by citrus blossom, water melon rind and pineapple. On the palate, the wine has refreshing flavors of peach, grapefruit and jasmine with hints of mandarin, cucumber and lemon curd. The mouthfeel is soft yet inviting, with a lively acidity. This classic, Loire Valley-style wine is excellent when paired with
fresh oysters, seafood, or just about anything!
