Harvest and Production
The 2024 Chenin Blanc is another first for us. Sourced from Skyline Vineyard, it was the last white grape we picked in the vintage—machine harvested, then pressed directly into a stainless steel tank and two new French oak barrels.
Fermentation was slow and clean in both tank and barrel, with the barrel portions also undergoing occasional lees stirring to build texture and depth. In the end, just one barrel—about one-sixth of the total volume—was blended into the final wine, adding a subtle layer of richness to an otherwise crisp, high-acid profile.
145 cases produced.
Tasting Notes
Bright and sharp, with notes of tart pear, lemon, and green apple. Super refreshing and drinkable with low alcohol and no residual sugar. Mineral-driven, high acid, and lightly textured from the barrel portion.
