“This has been a favorite of our wine club for years, and it is one that I drink at home as well! The Chenin Blanc is from our Horse Heaven Vineyard, which slopes down towards the Columbia River. This block of Chenin is approaching its 30th birtday, having been planted in 1979. Chenin Blanc is truly one of the noble white varieties that can make a wine of quality and style when grown in the right area. Its Old World roots can most readily be traced back to the Loire region of France where it is grown in abundance. Our Washington state version is cold tank fermented to seal in all the fruit-driven characteristics that the variety is known for. It offers aromas of ripe melons (honeydew to be specific!) with just a hint of spice. The palate has refreshing fruit and natural crisp acidity along with an underlying richness that comes from the vine age. Enjoy the wine and pass along the "secret" of Chenin!”
