v.2025 Chenin Blanc ORO BIANCO

Chenin Blanc had been absent in the Edna Valley for 35 years when we planted our first vines of this variety in 2016. Interest in this classic grape has surged within the wine world, and our ORO BIANCO has been celebrated by the press and our Insider members with consistently favorable reviews. We grow our Chenin Blanc at ROC Estate, a small site about 2 miles from the main estate, where the soils and aspect are a natural fit for this variety. We hand-harvest in three passes over more than two weeks, honoring the fruit as it moves through the stages of ripeness. After gentle pressing, the juice ferments in concrete vessels with care taken to preserve freshness and build texture to balance  the bright acidity
