Vinum
Clarksburg, California
An award winning winery comes to Firstleaf!
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Vinum
Chenin Blanc
The Vinum 2015 Chenin Blanc was a critical darling, with Wine Enthusiast giving the vintage 91 points! Coming from a special microclimate east of San Francisco the winemakers at Vinum collect the grapes in the middle of the night so that they arrive at the winery cool and ready to be pressed, with a cold fermentation that keeps the wine crisp and aromatic. The 2016 Chenin Blanc is lively, crisp, and superbly balanced. Perfect for drinking over lunch or an appetizer course. The winemaker suggests pairing the crisp green apple and lemon notes with a fresh salad, fish tacos, or roasted potatoes.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to CT.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
Clarksburg
Lying south of Sacramento in the California Delta, Clarksburg is a small but productive AVA where quality Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grow in abundance. The San Francisco Bay has a strong influence here, bringing in fog and cool breezes that temper the valley heat. With its flat, mineral-rich clay soils, vines thrive in Clarksburg, needing little attention to produce plenty of quality grapes. Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Albariño and the red variety Petite Sirah also produce great wines here.

TASTING NOTES:
Lemon
Green Apple
Mineral
This wine evolves into a crisp melange of refreshing fruit from honeydew to citron lemon, ripe kiwi and tart pippin apples. The wine finishes juicy while remaining appropriately acidic and dry with sweet green apple and mango nectar flavors.
