WINE DESCRIPTION
Ballentine Vineyards Chenin Blanc, crafted by a well-known family-owned winery in Napa Valley's Calistoga region, celebrates the area's unique terroir. Once popular in Northern California before Chardonnay took over, Chenin Blanc is now making a comeback thanks to Ballentine Vineyards' commitment. The vineyard's well-drained soils and ample sunlight give the wine its distinct character. This Chenin Blanc is lively and fresh, with a balanced acidity and fruity flavors.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Ballentine Vineyards Chenin Blanc displays a pale straw color.On the nose, lively aromas of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, alongside tropical hints of pineapple and guava, complemented by delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, boasting vibrant acidity that accentuates flavors of citrus, green apple, and pear. A subtle sweetness harmonizes with the acidity, creating a balanced mouthfeel and a clean, lingering finish.
