2023 Chenin Blanc, Betty's Vineyard

St. Helena, Napa Valley

As the largest grower of this grape in Napa Valley, we are proud to represent this amazing varietal. This Chenin is our most local farm-to-table wine, a true testament to our commitment to sustainability and supporting local businesses. It is grown, made, and bottled within 300 yards of our winery. 

The 2023 Chenin Blanc presents a vibrant bouquet that opens with a fresh mineral character, followed by notes of juicy nectarine and fragrant honeysuckle. As you swirl the glass, orange peel, and tropical pineapple aromas emerge, adding a bright, fruity complexity. The wine showcases layers of ripe pear and tangy lemon curd on the palate, balanced by a lively and crisp citrus finish. The mineral undertones provide a subtle, refreshing structure, complementing the wine's fruit-forward nature and clean acidity. This Chenin Blanc offers an elegant and well-rounded tasting experience, ideal for pairing with light dishes or enjoying alone.

Tasting Notes
This Chenin is our most local farm to table wine...grown, made and bottled within 300 yards of our winery. This Chenin Blanc has a very fruity nature to it but is absolutely made in a dry style which allows the finish to linger with clean citrus and floral flavors.
Vineyard Notes
The grapes in our Chenin Blanc come from the vineyard surrounding the winery. Our original Chenin Blanc was planted in the early 1970s. We have been producing a varietal Chenin Blanc from our estate vineyards since the 2002 vintage, and are proud to be a part of the revival of this truly Noble variety.
