Orr Wines Chenin Blanc Old Vine Columbia Valley

Old vine Chenin blanc, fermented naturally with native yeast and aged in a mix of neutral French oak and stainless steel. Dry and fresh, with pear and honeydew melon notes, it finishes minerally and crisp, and pairs perfectly with seafood and shellfish. Woman Winemaker.

This chenin comes from two sustainable vineyards, both organic practicing non-certified. Cover cropping and biodynamic fertilization methods are used.

 Both vineyards were hand-harvested separately and the grapes were whole cluster pressed. The juices settled in tank over night and then we racked to variety of old oak barrels and stainless steel drums where the wines fermented naturally with native yeast. The blend was assembled, lightly fined with bentonite clay and then sterile filtered before bottling in American made glass under TCAfree corks.
