Love & Terroir "Jurassic Vineyard" Chenin Blanc Santa Ynez Valley 2024

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Pulverized oyster shell, honeysuckle and lime blossom aromas… vivid acidity… tightly wound texture with chalk and lime pith flavors.” - 93 PTS., MATT KETTMAN, WINE ENTHUSIAST (11/2025)

WINERY NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “The Chenin I’d open when I want precision and energy — bright, mineral, and built on acidity. (A) dry, high-acid white wine driven by minerality, citrus, and linear structure.”

TASTING: “Lime zest, green apple, underripe pear; white tea, citrus blossom, fresh herbs; oyster shell, chalk, saline minerality; tight, linear structure with a long, crisp finish. Enjoy with oysters, shellfish, and raw bar; light seafood and citrus-driven dishes; goat cheese and high-acid pairings”

VINEYARD: “Old-vine, own-rooted Chenin Blanc planted in 1978 on the eastern side of Santa Barbara County. Fossil-rich sandy soils drive the wine’s signature salinity and mineral tension.”

WINEMAKIING: “Fermented and aged in neutral French oak to preserve freshness while building subtle texture and complexity.”
