About This Wine


Trailstone

Chenin Blanc

One of the most important aspects of winemaking is understanding how nature can be a help and a hindrance at every step of the process. Just like trailstones balanced along mountain paths to guide hikers, there are signs that guide every winemaker to a balanced final bottle. The sun and the rain, the soil and the season all tell a story to the winemakers about how they need to take care of the vines. The Trailstone 2016 Chenin Blanc is a versatile and delicious white. Made from some of the finest grapes in California, it feels silky in the mouth with lush notes of lychee, honey, & pear. From the first sip, the Trailstone is crisp and refreshing, so it's perfect to enjoy outside—taking in the scenery. The Trailstone Chenin Blanc is also loved by judges, they gave it a silver medal at the 2017 Sommeliers Challenge.

Wine Region


California

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.
