Tasting Notes

On the palate, Apricot, almond blossom, beeswax.

Chenin Blanc is the best kept secret in the world of wine. Richer than Sauvignon Blanc but impossibly light on its feet, Chenin Blanc is probably your new favorite wine… you just don’t know it yet.

Let us introduce you to the quiet luxury of Chenin Blanc: at once decadent and bracingly fresh.

Chenin Blanc is a favorite of sommeliers and chefs because it is so versatile and enjoyable when paired with a wide range of cuisines. For us – and many fans of Chenin Blanc – it’s really all about the texture. The bright aromas are lovely, but the feel of the wine is what captivates and delights.
