2023 Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc Viognier Blend

Pine Ridge’s Chenin Blanc-Viognier blend from the 2023 vintage marries crisp energy with aromatic charm. Sourced from cooler vineyard sites across Napa Valley and Oakville, head-trained Chenin Blanc brings zesty lime, green apple, and vibrant acidity, while a dash of aromatic Viognier lifts the wine with floral perfume and silky texture.
The grapes are harvested early in the morning, pressed gently, and fermented in stainless steel to preserve vivid aromatics and refreshing purity. A brief rest on fine lees adds a hint of creamy breadth without weighing down the wine’s bright frame. The Chenin’s racy citrus melds seamlessly with Viognier’s peach blossom and apricot skin accents, while a subtle mineral thread keeps the palate taut and expressive.
The result is a versatile, elegant white that feels both refined and approachable—perfect on its own as a chilled aperitif or paired with lighter fare throughout the year.

Nose: Lime zest, white peach, and jasmine blossom with hints of green apple and fresh herbs.

Palate: Crisp citrus and orchard fruit supported by bright acidity and a gentle floral core.

Finish: Clean, dry, and invigorating with lingering notes of citrus, pear skin, and soft minerality.

Delicious alongside grilled shrimp with lemon, seared scallops, goat-cheese salad, or sushi with yuzu—its refreshing acidity, bright fruit, and subtle floral tones elevate fresh, clean flavors and lighter dishes with grace.
