2023 Camino Alto Chenin Blanc El Dorado
2023 was the first vintage of Chenin Blanc at Camino Alto vineyard. We have always loved Chenin Blanc and have been searching out distinctive sites to work with but they've been hard to find. This wine is one of my favorite white wines that we have made with classic Chenin Blanc aromas of ripe pear and a rich texture that lingers through a long finish.
