Sandlands Vineyards Chenin Blanc from the 2011 vintage showcases the unique characteristics of Amador County, where the diverse terroir influences the grapes' expression. This white wine presents a medium body, balancing a delightful mouthwatering acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing vibrant notes of stone fruit, citrus, and subtle floral undertones, making it incredibly inviting. With a dry profile, the wine offers a clean and refreshing finish, allowing it to pair wonderfully with a variety of dishes. This handcrafted Chenin Blanc not only reflects the brilliance of the varietal but also captures the essence of its picturesque winemaking region.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
