Gaderian Wines Henry Ranch Chenin Blanc, Napa Valley, CA

This wine comes from a very old planting (50+ years) of Chenin Blanc and is one of only 7 acres in the Napa Valley that is currently growing Chenin. We whole cluster pressed this fruit into a tiny little tank and chilled her down. We left behind the heavy lees and kept the light fluffy silky lees when we transferred the wine to barrel for a long slow fermentation at cave temperature. Secondary fermentation was completed just after the New Year. We allowed the wine to continue to age on the lees for 9 months before putting it in the bottle. It developed a myriad of beautiful honeysuckle and tropical fruit notes with flavors of pineapple, guava, and soft lemon curd. – Winemaker Shaina Harding
