Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc is a versatile white grape variety that originated in the Loire Valley of France and is now cultivated in wine regions around the world. It produces a wide range of wine styles, from dry to sweet, still to sparkling.

Sweet Chenin Blanc is a delightful dessert wine choice, pairing beautifully with fruit-based desserts like peach cobbler or pineapple upside-down cake, as well as creamy desserts like crème brûlée or cheesecake. Additionally, its versatility extends to savory dishes, where it can complement spicy Asian cuisine or rich, pungent cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton. Dry Chenin Blanc wines, also known as "sec" in French, offer a crisp and refreshing profile with vibrant acidity and minimal residual sugar. These wines typically showcase flavors of green apple, pear, citrus, and sometimes hints of stone fruits, along with floral and mineral notes. Dry Chenin Blanc is a versatile choice for pairing with a variety of foods, from seafood and salads to poultry and vegetarian dishes. Its acidity can cut through rich or creamy sauces, making it a fantastic match for dishes like chicken piccata or seafood pasta.
