2007 Chenin Blanc

A clean, crisp white wine with elegant flavors of pear, apple and a hint of lime.


A clean, crisp white wine with elegant flavors of pear, apple and a hint of lime. Wonderful balance of refreshing acidity and clean aftertaste. This grape is truly underrated and overlooked by many.


Try this wine chilled with fresh, grilled fish or other seafood, such as oysters. A great choice for take-out Chinese food. Or savor it by the glass with an assortment of cheeses. The perfect wine for the beach or back porch on a hot summer day.


The Clarksburg appellation is known for its amazing Chenin Blanc, primarily because of its ideal climate. As the Sacramento Valley heats up during the day, it pulls in the cool maritime breeeze from the Bay, allowing warm summer days and cool evenings. We take special care in all aspects of our grape growing from deficit irrigation to precise pruning techniques, to handpicking at harvest.


Grapes were hand picked in the morning and gently pressed. Juice was cold settled and fermented cold in stainless steel tanks. The wine was allowed to sit on light lees for several months before racking. The wine was then finished for bottling, never seeing any oak or malo-lactic.
