Taste: In the glass, the wine shows a pale gold hue with glints of green. The aromatics are clean and expressive, opening with reductive aromas led by struck flint and a mineral edge, with layers of yellow apple, quince, honeysuckle, melon, and preserved lemon, backed by hints of flint and chamomile. On the palate, it opens with citrus and orchard fruit, leading into a mid-palate that is simultaneously bright and waxy, showing notes of lemon curd, pear skin, and crushed white flowers. The lees contact brings a roundness and quiet depth, while brisk acidity drives the wine to a saline, slightly herbal finish with a subtle touch of beeswax.



Pairing: Chenin Blanc’s natural acidity, textural depth, and subtle phenolics make it one of the most food-versatile white wines. Start by pairing it with dishes that include bright seasoning, gentle fat, or savory umami elements. Try it with grilled pork, seasoned with whole spices and garlic bread—especially if a cumin or coriander rub is involved, which brings out the wine’s floral and mineral notes. It also complements roasted chicken with lemon and herbs, seared scallops with brown butter and sage, or a cauliflower and golden raisin tagine.

About: Amos Rome Vineyards is located in Manson, Washington, on the north shore of Lake Chelan. This small town in the Lake Chelan AVA has grown into one of Washington’s most exciting emerging wine regions, thanks in part to its ancient glacial soils, intense diurnal temperature swings, and the climate-moderating influence of the lake itself. Founded by the Pettigrew family and led by winemaker Travis Clark, Amos Rome is an estate winery producing small-lot, vineyard-driven wines with a clear sense of place.

Food Pairing

Saumur Chenin Blanc’s taut acidity, orchard-fruit purity, and subtle mineral grip make it a natural match for clean, savory dishes with delicate richness. Its mix of apple, quince, and gentle floral notes complements fresh herbs, light aromatics, and preparations with a hint of creaminess, while its chalk-driven texture supports both lean proteins and vegetable-forward plates. The wine pairs best with Loire-style goat cheeses, simply prepared fish or poultry, and dishes where bright flavors and quiet earthiness bring out its precision and finesse.

All fruit is estate grown and harvested in multiple passes to capture optimal ripeness.
