A small-production gem! A stunning mix of tropical notes and citrus married with decadent highlights of honey on the nose. The barrel fermentation and aging create an incredible richness on the palate that is balanced by significant bright natural acidity. 94 Points Wine Enthusiast: "This is a barrel-fermented white that impresses from start to finish, with 4% Sémillon added to the mix. A sublime white-peach flavor is layered and well-integrated within a stony texture. Offering length and breadth, this is defined by an exotic spice note that lingers.

This is the barrel- fermented Chenin Blanc very subtle and elegant, quite different from a Vouvray

First stop on our MD trip this year was to Aperture Cellars in downtown Healdsburg. @Delectable Wine this is actually the Chenin Blanc from Clarksburg. First of the wines we tried at Aperture Cellars with Lauren. Clear and pale lemon yellow with a hint of green. Clean and fresh nose with light stone fruits and white flowers. Crisp acidity (7/10) with a light plus body. Layered palate with green apples, underripe melon and yellow stone fruits. Long finish and great value. Drink till 2022. Tasted at the tasting room and retails for $25.00.
