Leo Steen 2023 Peaberry Chenin Blanc – Premium White Wine

Leo Steen Wines’ 2023 Mendocino County Chenin Blanc offers a captivating blend of freshness and depth that’s perfect for white wine enthusiasts seeking something distinctive yet approachable. Hailing from California’s cool-climate Mendocino region, this crisp Chenin Blanc showcases a vibrant balance of tropical fruit sweetness and bright acidity—ideal for pairing with seafood or light summer dishes while remaining equally enjoyable on its own.

From the first sip, you’ll notice lush aromas of ripe peach and pineapple complemented by elegant undertones of beeswax and white tea. A whisper of vanilla adds warmth without overwhelming the wine’s natural complexity. On the palate, velvety creaminess harmonizes with lively acidity to create a refreshing yet textured mouthfeel—a hallmark of Leo Steen’s meticulous winemaking process. This wine truly shines through its bold nerve-driven character and zesty citrus-kissed finish that leaves your senses invigorated long after drinking.

One of its standout features is its unfiltered bottling, which preserves rich layers of flavor while giving it a slight hazy appearance—a testament to its authentic craftsmanship rather than any flaw. Unlike overly sweet or heavy Chenins on the market today, this bottling prioritizes balance between crispness and depth, making it versatile for both casual sips and refined dining experiences.

With 13% alcohol by volume, it delivers sophistication without overpowering your palate. Whether you’re exploring California’s finest white wines or seeking an alternative to traditional Chardonnays or Sauvignon Blancs, this Mendocino County Chenin Blanc stands out as a must-try example of what makes cool coastal vineyards so compelling.
