California
A stunning 91 pt., gold medal winning California Chenin Blanc from an up and coming winery
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Whipstitch
Chenin Blanc
In the middle of California wine country, two mountain ranges that run the spine of the state come together to create unique vineyard conditions. The soils are perfect for getting robust grapes, and winemakers labor over the land to produce excellent wines that are full of the best flavors. The Whipstitch 2016 Chenin Blanc brings together know-how and location to produce a wine that can only be made in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. With notes of lychee, honey, and pear the Chenin Blanc is a crisp white wine that is both elevated and accessible. Try drinking it on a warm summer day when you are in need of a refreshment. Judges at the 2017 Sommeliers Challenge agree, and awarded it with 91 points and a gold medal!

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Whipstitch
Two colossal mountain ranges traverse the state of California, creating dynamic ecosystems and drastically different terroirs. The Sierra Nevadas to the east and Coastal Ranges to the west form the whipstichery of peaks that outline the edges of California's inland wine regions. Here, our Whipstitch winemakers craft dynamic wines by weaving together fruit from diverse microclimates to fit each region's precise style. Like the picturesque peaks of California, our wines will forever evoke a sense of splendor as they withstand the test of time.
