2022 Ballentine Betty's Vineyard Chenin Blanc
Winery Notes- The grapes in our Chenin Blanc come from the vineyard surrounding the winery. Our original Chenin Blanc was planted in the early 1970s. We have been producing a varietal Chenin Blanc from our estate vineyards since the 2002 vintage, and are proud to be a part of the revival of this truly Noble variety. Bright, vibrant, and refreshing. Citrus and granny smith apple race on the palate leading towards a dry finish, inviting the next sip. Mineral characteristics make this wine very compatible with food.$26.9010
