Country: US / Red Mountain White Wine
Variety: Chenin Blanc Washington
Winery: Matteo / Red Mountain
This is pure Chenin Blanc from Kiona’s 1976 planting, fermented in concrete eggs and left on the lees for five months. A pretty golden hue, this bone dry wine did not undergo malolactic and has retained its sturdy acid base. Rich with glycerine, it’s scented with and has flavors of lemon oil, orange peel and candied pineapple.
