L.A. Cetto Chenin Blanc
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The L.A. Cetto Chenin Blanc is a vibrant, aromatic white wine that is highly approachable and produced in the San Antonio de las Minas, a sub-appellation of Baja California’s premier wine-growing region.
- The vines are 18 to 25 years old.
Varietal Composition: 100% Chenin Blanc
Elaboration: The grapes are entirely hand-harvested from carefully selected vineyard sites. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.
Tasting Notes: Straw yellow color, transparent, clean, and bright. Fresh aromas of pineapple, banana, apple, pear, and hints of honey. Very gentle on the palate, slightly off-dry in balance with its acidity, making it fresh and pleasant.
