Chenin Blanc

Year: 2022

Critic’s Rating:

AVA: Talmas Bench Mendocino

Tasting Notes: Aromas of mixed stone fruit, lychee, and honeysuckle are followed by similar flavors on the palate with a lifting texture that includes a touch of varietal beeswax. The flavors linger with a pleasant mix of fruit and other savory impressions. The firm acidity both assists in supporting the middle richness, as well as providing for a bright, mouthwatering, and refreshing wine.

Winemaker Notes: For this wine, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed, left to settle for a day, and then transferred into 14 barrels, four of which were stainless steel and ten were French oak. Half was allowed to ferment on the indigenous yeast, and half was inoculated with select organic yeast strains. The lees were stirred, also known as batonnage, bi-weekly until two months before bottling. Only 270 cases were produced!
