Chenin Blanc is arguably the most versatile of all wine grape varieties and the Clarksburg appellation produces some of the best Chenin in California. Our dry style Chenin is not only full-bodied, but full of fruit. Our 2003 Chenin Blanc is an Award Winner!

Not your typical Chenin, this dry wine has aromas of lemon blossoms and grapefruit, with a refreshingly light finish.

The light citrus flavor makes this wine very easy to drink with anything. Great with seafood, especially crab and spicy dishes such as Chinese, Thai, Indian or Latin fare. Enjoy a glass with mild cheeses and fruit as well. Drink slightly chilled.

The Clarksburg appellation is known for producing top quality Chenin Blanc, mainly due to its ideal climate for this varietal. As the Sacramento Valley heats up during the day, it pulls in the cool maritime breeze from the bay, which allows 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 handpicked in the morning and gently pressed. Juice was cold settled and initally fermented cold in stainless. A portion of the wine finished fermentation in small oak barrels, with the balance staying in stainless steel to preserve its fruit character.
