Chenin Blanc 2024

95% Chenin Blanc, 5% Viognier
We made another small lot in 2024 that hasn’t been in our portfolio for many years: Chenin Blanc. Hailing from the same vineyard as the small batch of Riesling, this wine is crisp and clean, with notes of quince, star anise and lime zest, a refreshing addition to your summertime wines

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
This wine comes from Cerro Santo Vineyards in Estacado, Texas. This vineyard is northeast of Lubbock with relatively cooler temperatures than Brownfield, TX.
Production Notes
2024 was a harvest unlike any other. With relatively cool temperatures throughout the summer, vines across the state were able hang for a very long time, producing very ripe and developed fruit. What was particularly interesting about this vintage was the extraction and depth of richness in the wines that were produced. Temperatures started to heat up right around early August, which allowed grapes to ripen at the same time. This caused our harvest to be quite short but very full, with our last lot of fruit being trucked in on September 24th. The white wines and roses from this vintage are shown to be very aromatic and well concentrated. The red wines, which are rather young right now, are showing a deep complexity and richness that is very exciting to our production team.
