2023 Kinsman Eades Chenin Blanc Aberro | Diamond Mountain Napa Valley California 750ml

Looking to the hills seemed a logical place to try something new. It is the fruit of Nigel's hunch that chenin blanc would thrive in a specific spot on Diamond Mountain and the cojones to actually rip cabernet from the ground and plant chenin blanc in its place. A gentle whole cluster press preceded a racking to 600L puncheons and neutral 228L barrels where the wine enjoyed a nice, slow fermentation and a subsequently brief elevage. With as much white wine as we consume, it's bout time we made some of our own. | Kinsman Eades
