A new wine to the Florez lineup. Largely inspired by Francophile tendencies, this Chenin Blanc is a relative newcomer to the Gimelli Vineyard and we had to work with it. Seeking that Loire Valley like balance of texture and freshness, this is a fun one. The name means clear gold and the color reflects that: a light gold. Aromas of baked pear, honeyed citrus, yellow apple, and oyster shell. The palate is smooth with baked pear, and cultured butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eFlorèz Wines was founded by James Jelks in 2017. Born in Santa Cruz and raised in Davis California Jelks is a west coast kid. After a decade of wine fascination, attending the UC Davis E\u0026amp;V program, and working worldwide Jelks set his sights on producing wines in Santa Cruz county. He is farming some vineyards himself, always dry-farmed, and is also sourcing some fruit from organic and sustainable vineyards. He always works with native yeasts, does not use additives except for a minimal amount of sulfur at bottling, and does not filter the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florèz Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50611390513408,"sku":null,"price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/patronsaintwine.com\/products\/florez-wines-clair-dore-chenin-blanc-santa-cruz-mountains-california-2024","provider":"Patron Saint","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
