Why this wine made the cut…
Rall wines punch above their weight, and this is no exception.
GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Chenin Blanc
72% Shuh-NAN BLON
Chenin Blanc is often overlooked, but makes some of the most compelling white wines across Palate Character, including bone dry to sweet in style. Some of the best expressions come from France’s Loire Valley, and South Africa, which at their best are concentrated, crisp, sometimes long-lived, mineral driven wines that deserve more recognition for their high quality age-worthy whites.
Verdelho
24% Ver-DELL-Who
Verdelho is a white grape variety from Portugal, known for its role in Madeira wine. It produces wines with bright acidity, medium body, and flavors of citrus, apple, and tropical fruits. Verdelho is also grown in Australia, where it makes fresh, aromatic white wines.
Viognier
4% Vyo-NYAY
Viognier almost went extinct in the 1960s, but has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity. Although grown around the word, it is most famous for the full bodied intensely aromatic floral white wines with a sometimes oily texture grown on granite terraces in Condrieu, and small amount to Syrah in Côte Rôtie, just north of Condrieu, adding aromatic complexity.
