The 2023 L’Envolée Chenin Blanc is our inaugural white wine made up of 100% Chenin Blanc from the Carneros appellation of the Napa Valley. Fermentation was led by the juice racking off solids, 5 different yeast strains, a cool ferment, stirring as needed, and partial malolactic fermentation. This dry wine is zippy yet rich, fun yet complex, and immediately approachable. This golden yellow-hued wine has varietal integrity showcasing pleasant notes of ripe pear, white nectarine, honeysuckle, and lemon zest. With lingering acidity and graceful minerality, this wine is a brilliant companion for a casual and formal occasions alike.
