2022 Pax Mahle Lyman Ranch Chenin Blanc

Producer: Pax Mahle Wines  
Region: Amador County, Sierra Foothills, California 
Varietal: Chenin Blanc  
Year: 2022 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Mirabelle plums, lemon grass, green apple candy and peach pit. The palate is loaded with minerals and concentrated stone fruit flavors and ripe bosch pear. Long and polished, this is modern Chenin Blanc, gravelly and intense but with a streak of ripe fruit to hold it all together. Absolutely gorgeous now, but surely to improve in the bottle for another 3-5 years as well." 

About the Vineyard: 

"Grown in red granitic soils at 1400’within Amador County, this warm mountainous site grows a unique expression of Chenin Blanc. The ferrous soils and exposure ripen these thick-skinned golden grapes quickly and with loads of tropical fruit. The cold foothill nights help the grapes retain their acidity and freshness and we pick early to balance the tropical fruit flavors with all that fresh alpine acidity." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
