Chenin Blanc Wine Information
Chenin Blanc in the 1960’s and 70’s was a popular
California Wine. Today, only a handful of wineries in California
make this wonderful crisp and delightful wine that originates from
the Loire Valley of France. Have you ever heard of Vouvray?
This is a delicious wine from the Loire Valley made from the Chenin
Blanc grape.
- Chenin Blanc is a perfect choice for a picnic lunch or on a
summer afternoon on the patio. It matches with light foods. Examples:
Light cheese, sandwiches with light meats, salads, and white
fish.
- Chenin Blanc has many floral flavors. One can smell honey,
melon, peach
and sometimes hints of grass or hay. The wine is very crispy
due to the acid level of the wine.
- Chenin Blanc can be bone dry, semi sweet, or even
effervescent depending
on how the wine is made.
- Chenin Blanc is fermented and aged in stainless tanks.
- For the most part, California Chenin Blancs are excellent bargains
and value wines.
