Chenin Blanc Jurassic Park Vineyard by Leo Steen 2022 [V93]

Discover the elegance of Leo Steen Wines’ 2022 Chenin Blanc from Santa Ynez Valley’s Jurassic Vineyard—a masterpiece of texture and nuance that redefines California’s white wine landscape. Crafted from ancient vines nestled in fossil-rich soils, this wine embodies a harmonious balance of freshness and depth that sets it apart from younger styles like their vibrant Saini Farms counterpart.

With a Vinous 93-point accolade under its belt, this Chenin Blanc captivates with its striking profile: zesty citrus peel mingles with delicate white flowers and exotic spice notes on a velvety palate. The extended aging process reveals layers of complexity rarely found in this varietal—a testament to Santa Barbara’s Central Coast terroir and winemaker’s dedication to coaxing richness from mature vines.

Whether you’re pairing it with seafood linguine or savoring it as an aperitif, its 12.5% alcohol content ensures versatility without overpowering subtleties. For connoisseurs seeking an aged Chenin Blanc that transcends tradition or exploring Santa Ynez Valley’s premium offerings beyond Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, this Jurassic Vineyard gem offers a singular experience—one sip away from discovering why old vines tell stories worth savoring.
