Description
In the words of the winemaker – “Originating in France’s Loire Valley, the Chenin Blanc grape has flourished on the Quails’ Gate Estate for over 20 years. Quails’ Gate is one of the few vineyards in the Okanagan growing the versatile Chenin Blanc. This grape can be made in a variety of styles, from dry to sweet and even sparkling: the dry Chenin we produce has been served to a number of VIPs including US President Obama (2007 vintage) and William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (2010 vintage). The 2020 vintage of Chenin Blanc is comprised of 89% Chenin Blanc, incorporating 9% 6% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermented in mainly stainless steel with a small portion fermented and aged in neutral large-format oak”
