Aperture Chenin Blanc 2022

$24.99

Our 2025 Chenin Blanc, crafted from old vines planted in the 1940s, showcases vibrant, bright flavors. The delta-like climate, with rich clay loam soils and cool Delta Breezes from San Francisco Bay, fosters a long growing season, enhancing fruit development, vine health, and nutrient retention.

The 2022 Chenin Blanc was matured mostly in stainless steel, with smaller portions in neutral French oak and cement. It's bursting with alluring scents of kumquat, kiwi, white peaches and gravel dust. It's a pretty expression with Goldilocks ripeness. The palate features a focused spine of acidity that drives its concentrated, expansive flavors, and it has a long finish that seems to gain in intensity with each sip.

Wine Advocate

This intense, bright and crisp white offers notes of pomelo and pineapple up front, with accents of white pepper. Shows a thread of minerality and an accent of beeswax on a plump, juicy frame.
