Chenin Blanc grows exceptionally well in the Columbia Valley, where big temperature swings and ample sunlight ensure nice ripening and vibrant acidity. Strong demand and limited old-vine acreage keep Chenin Blanc in the hands of only a few top-notch producers, Kiona Vineyards and Winery included. Our plantings at the Kiona Estate vineyard date back to 1976. One of our favorite grapes.
With trademark bright, crisp, fruit-forward characteristic and immense food-pair- ability, our Chenin Blanc is a definite crowd-pleaser. This 2020 iteration includes small amounts of Chardonnay and Semillon for layering and texture. Since our inaugural 1980 vintage, Chenin Blanc has been a stalwart in our portfolio.
