Price:
$15.99 per bottle
Description:
This wine was created to honor our Grandmother, Isabelle "Bella" Wilson on her 100th Birthday. Born in 1901, she came to Clarksburg with our Grandfather in the early 1920's to farm and raise a family.
This lovely Isabella Late Harvest Chenin Blanc offers spiced pears and gardenias with just a hint of balsam in the nose. On the palate there is a rich complexity of honeyed peaches, blood oranges and clove.

Varietal Definition
Chenin Blanc:
Classic white varietal of France's Loire Valley and now grown throughout the world. Known for its rather unusual 'wet-wool', 'damp straw' aromas, it tends to be more floral than fruity when young and gives high acidity, growing well in marginal climates. It ages well and its susceptibility to 'botrytis'* produces some of the great sweet wines of the Loire, for example Quarts de Chaume and Vouvray. It is grown widely in South Africa where it is known as 'Steen'.
