Chenin Blanc: The Best White Wine You’re Not Drinking

from Wine Pros on the Go

If Chenin Blanc were better at self-promotion, we'd all be talking about it nonstop. Instead, it quietly produces some of the world's most fascinating wines while flashier grapes collect the headlines. Dry or sweet, sparkling or still, humble or profound, Chenin Blanc has spent centuries refusing to be just one thing. In this episode, we explore wine's most versatile shape-shifter, its improbable rise from the Loire Valley to South Africa, and why sommeliers seem to have a secret crush on it. At some point, versatility becomes showing off. Chenin Blanc crossed that line years ago. Wine Pros on the Go is produced in Atlanta, GA.
