2024 Love & Terroir "Jurassic Vineyard" Chenin Blanc

The Chenin I’d open when I want precision and energy — bright, mineral, and built on acidity.

2024 Chenin Blanc — Santa Barbara County
Dry, high-acid white wine driven by minerality, citrus, and linear structure.

Style
High acid | Medium-light body | Dry
Linear, mineral-driven, focused

Tasting Profile
• Lime zest, green apple, underripe pear
• White tea, citrus blossom, fresh herbs
• Oyster shell, chalk, saline minerality
• Tight, linear structure with a long, crisp finish

Vineyard
Old-vine, own-rooted Chenin Blanc planted in 1978 on the eastern side of Santa Barbara County.
Fossil-rich sandy soils drive the wine’s signature salinity and mineral tension.

Winemaking
Fermented and aged in neutral French oak to preserve freshness while building subtle texture and complexity.

Why It Matters
In cooler vintages, Chenin Blanc leans into its natural acidity and mineral profile—this is a precise, high-energy expression focused on tension, structure, and freshness.

Enjoy With
• Oysters, shellfish, and raw bar
• Light seafood and citrus-driven dishes
• Goat cheese and high-acid pairings
