Origin & Craftsmanship:
Sourced from the esteemed Heringer Estate Vineyards in Forestville, California, this 2021 Chenin Blanc is a testament to artisanal winemaking. Producer Matt Crutchfield has crafted a distinctive orange wine by employing traditional foot-treading techniques, followed by a 12-day skin fermentation in a 500L puncheon. The result? A wine that’s both complex and approachable, with minimal intervention—only 40 ppm SO2 is added to preserve its natural character.
