Well done house chenin. Lacks some nuance, but chalky notes can be found. Zippy acid.

Vintage 2017 | high bitters, wine for dinner. Difficult taste, but man o man much character in this Chenin Blanc.

Solid dry Chenin Blanc. Good acidity and ready for cheese or a simple fish or chicken dish.

citron poire, fleurs blanche, bien équilibré au départ, la finale manque un peu de minéralité.

Pineapple and graphite on the nose. Took a sip...wow! Flavor explosion! Sweet tropical fruits, citrus, and a little racy. Sweeter than we expected, but delightful.

Crisp, just off dry and nice stony pear and citrus flavors. Good length, versatile wine for food

A bit sweet balanced with dry. Fun. Paired well with sushi.

Stone fruit, honey, yellow apple, lemon pound cake. Nice dry acidity and some minerality, but a little sweet and syrupy on the finish. Would definitely recommend it with food. I’m having Brie and Hungarian salami.
