2024 Calera Cienega Valley Central Coast Chenin Blanc
Since our beginnings in 1975, we have been inspired by the sophistication, grace, and longevity of wines crafted from mountain vineyards rooted in limestone-rich soils. Established in 1982, the Cienega Valley AVA lies in California’s Central Coast, just south of Hollister in San Benito County. The region’s unique soils, paired with a moderate climate shaped by coastal breezes from Monterey Bay, impart remarkable character to our Chenin Blanc.

Vintage Notes
Graceful and expressive, the 2024 Chenin Blanc opens with lifted aromas of lemon rind, crisp green apple, and a touch of fresh-cut grass. The palate follows with a smooth, focused texture, layering flavors of Asian pear, marmalade, and bright key lime, carried by lively acidity that brings clarity and drive. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a precise, citrus-tinged impression that invites another sip.
