What to Expect

Chenin Blanc is one of the world's least-known and appreciated great white wine grapes. Originally from France's Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc has spread around the globe and is used for virtually all styles of white wine, from crisp and lean to rich, round full table wines, sparkling wines, and some of the most decadent dessert wines made. Classic descriptors for the flavors of Chenin Blanc include peach, honey, lanolin, marzipan, and quince jelly though the dry style from South Africa, where the wines are known as Steen, often exhibits more tropical fruit notes that recall pineapple and guava.

Winemakers Notes

"13.5 % ABV, 100 % Chenin Blanc "

"The 2005 Vouvray has a rounded, tender, almost buttery texture with suggestions of apples and ripe quinces sheathed in delicate threads of honey."

Second bottle even better than first. Still lots of mineral and blossom on the nose, with pure citrus essences, herbs, and stone on the palate. Perfectly situated on the cusp between dry and off dry. Perfect for Indian food.

Straw-colored. Aromas of lemon blossom and minerals. Lemon essence, minerals, and slightly herbaceous palate. Slightly off dry. Very good QPR.
