Chenin Blanc is one of the most versatile grapes used in the wine industry. Chenin originally earned its fame in France’s Loire Valley, where it was crafted into sweet wine, dry wine, and even sparkling wine. Since our first vintage in 1984, Husch has adopted an “off-dry” style that leaves a touch of residual sugar in the wine to accentuate the vibrant flavors of the grape.

The 2011 vintage was a growing season that will not soon be forgotten. The weather was abnormally cool and the rains came early, but against all the odds the grapes ripened up nicely and they were harvested with the optimum sugar to acid balance. The grapes were harvested on a couple of different mornings so the fruit was cold when it went directly through the crusher into the press and then was pumped to tank for long and cold fermentations. After fermentation we blended the lots and immediately bottled the wine, making the final product fresh and vibrant.

The 2011 Chenin Blanc has alluring aromas of fresh picked apricot, peach, and melon that jump out of the glass. On the palate this off-dry wine is vibrant, revealing its balanced combination of melon and stone fruits as well as zesty acidity, while simultaneously offering a full luscious mouth-feel. Even “non-wine drinkers” have been known to fall in love with the Husch Chenin Blanc. This is the ideal wine for a picnic, aperitif or with a fruit and cheese course. It will also pair nicely with your favorite seafood dish or spicy Asian cuisine.

Try this with the White Wine Mousse created especially for it.
