Lieu Dit Chenin Blanc

Lieu Dit is a partnership of longtime friends Eric Railsback and Justin Willett. The two met in Santa Barbara while Eric was finishing college and Justin was just beginning his career in winemaking. The two were among a small group of young winemakers and restaurateurs in Santa Barbara unified by a common interest in wine and all its mysteries.

A combination of tank and barrel fermentation was used to produce this Chenin Blanc. The wine then spent seven months in neutral French oak and was racked to stainless steel prior to bottling. The finished wine is textured and creamy with gorgeous notes of pear, apple, chamomile, and almond. This gives many Loire Valley Chenins a serious run for their money.
