The 2022 Chenin Blanc was matured mostly in stainless steel, with smaller portions in neutral French oak and cement. It's bursting with alluring scents of kumquat, kiwi, white peaches and gravel dust. It's a pretty expression with Goldilocks ripeness. The palate features a focused spine of acidity that drives its concentrated, expansive flavors, and it has a long finish that seems to gain in intensity with each sip. 6,000 cases produced.

A brilliant straw color with a green hue and bottled under screwcap, the 2022 Chenin Blanc is floral and fresh with notes of ripe peach, tropical flowers, and melon rind. Medium-bodied, with a soft mineral texture and delicate saline touch, it offers pithy citrus of tangerine, green almond, and fresh pear and a a clean finish. This is a lovely wine to drink over the next 4-5 years.
