Rhys Chenin Blanc Mt. Pajaro Vineyard 2023

Santa Cruz Mountains, United States

Explosive aromatics of wet limestone, green apple and white pepper leap from the glass. Steel fermentation delivers crystalline precision. This is razor-sharp Chenin with piercing acidity that cuts like a blade. Lean and tightly wound, with subtle honeyed notes emerging only on the finish. Demands patience.
