Wine Critic Review: Gentle handling and careful attention is given to the Chenin Blanc grapes from the vine to the glass. To retain the delicate varietal flavors, Beringer’s winemakers chill the juices immediately following crush and continue to closely monitor the temperature throughout fermentation. Just before dryness, they cool the juices even further to halt fermentation and retain a smooth, lush mouthfeel and
lingering finish.
Personal Review: This wine was nearly perfect. Sweet with light citrus flavors, but not too sweet, and tart but not too sour. Honestly, this is my ideal everyday white wine.
Food Pairing: My favorite dinner is rotisserie chicken with a starch and a veggie. Tonight I had it with a barley mix and roasted cauliflower wrapped in prosciutto. This wine was light and a nice contrast to the savory flavors of the chicken, barley mix and cauliflower.
