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 included. Their plantings at the Kiona Estate vineyard date back to 1976. One of their favourite grapes.With trademark bright, crisp, fruit-forward characteristic and immense food-pairability, Kiona Chenin Blanc is a definite crowd-pleaser. Texture and mouthfeel are an emphasis here. They included barrel ferments and clay amphora treatments in the final blend. Small amounts of Viognier and Roussanne add length and intrigue. A stalwart in the Kiona Vineyards portfolio since 1980, Chenin Blanc continues to impress.
