Experience the harmonious blend of two classic varietals with Pine Ridge's Chenin Blanc + Viognier 2023. This vibrant white wine combines the crisp acidity of Chenin Blanc with the lush, aromatic qualities of Viognier, resulting in a refreshing and versatile wine perfect for any occasion.
Tasting Notes:
Winemaking Process: This vintage is a blend of 80% Chenin Blanc and 20% Viognier. The Chenin Blanc grapes are sourced from the Clarksburg appellation, known for its affinity for this varietal, and harvested at low sugar levels to ensure bright fruit character and low alcohol content. In contrast, the Viognier from Lodi is picked at 24 degrees Brix to capture its floral and spicy nature, as well as its viscosity.
Food Pairing: This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including spicy Asian cuisine, fresh seafood, light salads, or a selection of soft cheeses. Its balanced profile also makes it an excellent aperitif for warm gatherings.

"Fresh nose with white peaches, sliced apples and white blossoms. Medium-bodied, crunchy and lightly salty on the palate, with juicy acidity coming through. Vibrant in the finish." |

Wine Spectator
"Offers a light-bodied, charming mix of peach, honeysuckle and pear flavors that are crisp and fresh. A touch of lime sherbet lingers on the finish alongside a note of freshly grated ginger. Chenin Blanc and Viognier." |
