Dashe Cellars, Chenin Blanc 'Concrete', 2023 AFKAT_2024 the wine hums with energyDashe Cellars sources this Chenin Blanc from old vines in the Clarksburg AVA, a Sacramento Delta region known for cool breezes and fog. The grapes are whole cluster pressed and fermented in concrete eggs, which preserve freshness while adding subtle texture. No oak and minimal intervention highlight the grapes natural acidity and orchard fruit character. This bottling reflects Dashes move toward terroir driven, low input California whites.
