Pine Ridge, Clarksburg Chenin Blanc/Viognier, USA, 2024

A bright and expressive nose, the Chenin Blanc brings aromatics of citrus characters of lime, orange blossom, honeysuckle, ginger, and melon. The Viognier component reveals ripe stone fruit and delicate white floral tones. On the palate it is clean and crisp, with notes of white peach lingering on the finish.

After the grapes were crushed, they were cold pressed for two days ahead of blending with the free run juice to increase palate weight. The juice was inoculated with two special yeast strains to maintain the fruity characters and then was fermented cold for three weeks. To retain and highlight the fruit freshness of Chenin Blanc and Viognier, the wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation and was fermented and aged in 100% stainless steel.
