2022 Sparkling Chenin Blanc Sonoma Valley
Wine Notes Print tech sheet
Crafted in the classic Méthode Traditionnelle style, our Sparkling Chenin Blanc is an elegant celebration in a glass. Boasting a symphony of bright citrus and sweet floral aromas, it maintains a crisp and lively texture that is both refreshing and enchanting. Although Chenin Blanc is scarcely planted in Sonoma Valley, it has found a welcome home at Two Creeks Farm in Kenwood. The fruit we source from here enjoys gentle sunlight, shielded from late afternoon heat by surrounding hillsides. While most sparkling wine grapes in Sonoma are harvested mid-summer, the optimally sheltered location at Two Creeks Farm allows for extended hangtime late into the growing season, providing the perfect conditions for developing depth of flavor and complexity which beautifully express the vineyard’s distinct terroir.
