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

A fruity white wine with delicate yellow and green tinge. Exciting ripe tropical fruit dominant guava flavors define the bouquet. Rich in exotic fruit flavors with a lively aftertaste make a relaxed, yet polished, wine.
Pairs well with sustainably-caught shellfish and pork
