At its heart, Chenin Blanc presents a refreshing acidity that makes it instantly
recognizable. This lively tartness often translates into crisp flavors of green apple and
quince, and depending on the wine’s level of ripeness and winemaking techniques, it
might even echo ripe pear or stone fruits like peaches and apricots.
A hallmark of Chenin Blanc is its distinctive minerality that can sometimes veer
towards a flinty, wet-stone character. This underlying mineral edge adds complexity
and structure to the wine’s fruit-forward profile.
Another delightful aspect of Chenin Blanc is its ability to age. As it matures, Chenin
Blanc evolves to display deep, rich flavors of honey, nuts, and a somewhat wax-like
nuance. The wine becomes more rounded and complex, rewarding those who have the
patience to cellar it. It’s also important to note that Chenin Blanc can be crafted in
various styles, from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, and even sparkling.
