This Chenin Blanc has been served to numerous visiting Heads of State including President Obama, the future King and Queen of England, William and Kate and the Japanese Royal Family. From its Loire Valley origins in France, to the Okanagan Valley, this vinifera grape has flourished on our estate for more than 20 years. This wine is complex with beautiful bright acidity, lovely mid-palate texture and a long, refreshing finish.
