Varietal Composition: 100% Chenin Blanc

Winemaker Notes

This elegant and beautifully aromatic Chenin Blanc displays an enticing bouquet of marmalade, Asian pear, lemon zest and fresh-cut hay, with hints of savory dried sage. On the palate, the 2020 vintage coats the mouth with flowing citrus and pear flavors, with elegant underlying acidity providing freshness and energy throughout a long, lush finish.

Production

After a cool winter, the 2020 growing season began with spring rains that replenished our soils and set the stage for an excellent vintage. After a late-March budbreak, we enjoyed temperate, sunny days and cool nights throughout spring and summer, allowing the grapes to slowly ripen, while preserving the bright natural acids that we prize. With no significant heat events, the 2020 vintage produced age-worthy wines with enticing aromatics, lovely freshness and purity, and beautifully delineated varietal flavors.
