Orofino Few and Far Between Washington Series Chenin Blanc 2024

Washington, United StatesThe Few and Far Between series is how Orofino chose to differentiate their Crafted in BC (CIBC) wines from the 2024 vintage. In this case, the chenin blanc comes from the Ancient Lakes AVA, overlooking Washington's Columbia Gorge. From 50 year old vines rooted in silty loams over granite, this was fermented and aged in concrete and French barrels. A crisp, brisk, youthful green edged palate is led with lemon verbena and white grapefruit pith running over a bed of river stones slicked with lees. If you're looking for a fresh and crunchy young chenin, here you go.Tasted: 18 March 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
