About the wine
The best Chenin Blanc in the USA comes from Clarksburg
- Clean, crisp, dry and tangy—think fresh-cut apples with a whiff of honey. It drives Richard crazy that Clarksburg Chenin isn't as famous as Chardonnay.
- So Angels gave him the money to make the perfect Chenin. He harvests the fruit at night so the grapes get delivered to the winery cold and fresh, and they're hand sorted over long conveyor belts so that only the purest, brightest fruit gets in.
- This is a perfect Emergency White - keep 1 in the fridge at all times because it's ultra-refreshing and very versatile.
Best before
The wine will age for 3-5 years, but the high acidity is best preserved and enjoyed within 2 years of release.
Serving advice
Open one and put another in the refrigerator.
Food match
This wine is really nice with coriander crusted salmon over a vietnamese rice noodle salad with mango, avocado, cilantro and fresh lime juice.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Richard Bruno
Years Angel-funded: 2013-2023
- Richard Bruno is exactly what we love in a winemaker– the quiet achiever behind the scenes at some of the world's most famous wine brands. He's made wine for Francis Ford Coppola and Don Sebastiani, the latter of which was named Winery of the Year TWICE under his watch.
- During his decades making wine for famous wineries and earning them 90+ scores, he has traveled all up and down California's coastal wine regions. His experience and familiarity with the terrain allow him to sniff out the best-bang-for-buck pretty much anywhere in the state.
- Launching one's wine brand is hard and expensive, so Richard is using Angel funding – and he's able to focus on winemaking, instead of selling wine.
