We conclude our Noble Grapes epilogue with Chenin Blanc, a grape whose range and longevity make a compelling case for its inclusion among the classics.
With its origins in France’s Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc has long been valued for its remarkable versatility. As it has traveled beyond its historic home, most notably to South Africa, it has proven capable of extraordinary range, from bracingly dry and mineral to richly textured and age-worthy, even lusciously sweet.
Few grapes express both precision and breadth so convincingly.
Join the Murphy’s Wine Team on February 24th as we explore five expressions of Chenin Blanc, tasting how this quietly profound grape reflects site, climate, and intent across regions and styles.
