WINEMAKER NOTES:

The 2025 vintage opens with bright, expressive aromas of peach, honeydew melon, and citrus, recalling a classic creamsicle note alongside orange blossom, jasmine, and honeysuckle. Accents of tart mandarin, cucumber, parsley stem, and lemon curd add freshness and complexity. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and layered, offering flavors of ripe peach, honeydew melon, Meyer lemon, and lemon gelato, lifted by citrus blossom and a touch of honey. Notes of cucumber, flower stem, lime and lime peel, celery, and wet-stone minerality bring a crisp, savory edge, while hints of kiwi and chamomile tea add nuance. The mouthfeel is well balanced, with soft, rounded edges through the front and mid-palate, complemented by bright, refreshing acidity that carries the wine to a clean, lively finish.

TASTING NOTES: 

This old-vine Chenin Blanc is a long-standing favorite. The aromatics are sumptous, with lush honeydew melon, passion fruit, citrus, and orange blossom honey on the nose. Flavors on the palate give ripe cantaloupe, white nectarine, makrut segments, pomelo, and white tea, with gravelly acidity on the finish. Best Buy
