Appearance:
The wine has a pale, straw-yellow color with a slight greenish tint, reflecting its freshness and vibrant character.

Nose:
On the nose, the Lang & Reed Chenin Blanc is aromatic and inviting, offering a delightful bouquet of fresh orchard fruits such as green apple, pear, and quince. These fruit aromas are complemented by subtle floral notes, like honeysuckle and white blossom, along with a hint of citrus zest, particularly lemon and lime. There’s also a touch of minerality, often described as wet stone or chalk, which adds depth and complexity to the aroma.

Palate:
The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp, lively acidity that gives the wine a refreshing and zesty character. The fruit flavors are well-defined, with green apple, pear, and citrus leading the way, followed by a subtle hint of honey and a touch of almond. The wine’s minerality is prominent, providing a clean, precise edge that enhances the overall structure and adds a layer of sophistication. The texture is smooth, with a subtle creaminess that rounds out the palate without overpowering its freshness.

Finish:
The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus, green apple, and a pronounced mineral backbone. The wine leaves a clean, crisp aftertaste with a slight hint of honey and almonds, making it both satisfying and invigorating.

Overall Impression:
Lang & Reed Chenin Blanc from Mendocino is a beautifully balanced and elegant wine that showcases the best qualities of Chenin Blanc. Its combination of bright fruit, lively acidity, and distinctive minerality makes it an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of dishes, including seafood, salads, poultry, and light pasta dishes. It’s also a fantastic wine to enjoy on its own, particularly as a refreshing aperitif or with light fare. This wine has the potential to develop further complexity with a few years of aging, making it a versatile and enjoyable choice for any occasion.
