2023 Aperture Cellars Chenin Blanc | Clarksburg, North Coast California 750ml

Our 2023 Chenin Blanc is a vibrant and bright wine, coming from old vines planted in the 1940s. It is a product of its rich clay loam soils and colder, brisk nights that are made possible by the Delta Breeze coming in off the San Francisco Bay. | Aperture Cellars

Raised mostly in stainless steel, but 20% in neutral French oak and a splash in 5% cement, the 2023 Chenin Blanc displays a bright yellow/silver hue and is floral and dewy, with fresh aromas of white blossoms, baby powder, starfruit, and candied citrus. Medium-bodied, it's bright through the finish, with an elegant, linear, and weightless feel. It's really pretty and never feels austere. Coming from vines planted in the 1940s, this is a very appealing wine to drink over the next 6-8 years | 93 Audrey Frick for jebdunnuck.com
