Essay Chenin Blanc is a bright, approachable dry white that is designed to be consumed in its youth. The Chenin Blanc is supported by a touch of Viognier and Roussanne that adds florality and weight to the wine. Grapes were hand harvested from multiple vineyards and fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain delicate fruit character. The wine spends a short period in inert vessels prior to bottling as oak influence is not sought.
