2021 Lieu Dit Chenin Blanc Santa Ynez Valley

Winemaker Notes: A combination of tank and barrel fermentation was used to produce our Chenin Blanc. The wine then spent seven months in neutral French oak and was racked to stainless steel prior to bottling.

Once pressed, the juice is then tank fermented using only native yeast. The wine overwinters in neutral oak barrels, building complexity, definition and verve. In the spring, the wine is racked back to a stainless tank prior to bottling, resulting in a fresh, mouthwatering wine.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2021 Chenin Blanc is an absolute delight. Hints of dried pear, spice, chamomile and tangerine oil lift effortlessly. Deceptive in its mid-weight feel, the 2021 is flavorful and full of varietal character. "
