La Grapperie "La Belle Egaree" Elbling easy-drinking California redChenin Blanc from vines young and old, pressed straight to barrels for fermentation and a year of levage. The terroir is a combination of clay, flint and limestone and farming is meticulous, done organically, without the use of chemicals or pesticides.
