Wine Details
Price:
$7.25 per bottle
Description:
Llano Estacado's Chenin Blanc is produced from grapes grown exclusively on the Mont Sec Vineyard of Hudspeth County Texas. Chenin Blanc is a type that thrives here in Texas with our abundant sunshine and low relative humidity.
This enjoyable well-balanced fruity table wine has ample residual sugar balanced with the natural acidity of the grape, with overtones of crisp apple and pear. Made by our cold-fermented process to lock in fruit character, this wine is best served slightly chilled with any spicy, hot Southwestern cuisine. Chenin Blanc is also a great accompaniment to fresh fruit and cheese desserts.

Varietal Definition
Chenin Blanc:
Classic white varietal of France's Loire Valley and now grown throughout the world. Known for its rather unusual 'wet-wool', 'damp straw' aromas, it tends to be more floral than fruity when young and gives high acidity, growing well in marginal climates. It ages well and its susceptibility to 'botrytis'* produces some of the great sweet wines of the Loire, for example Quarts de Chaume and Vouvray. It is grown widely in South Africa where it is known as 'Steen'.
