Tenshen White Blend (14.7%)

Tenshen White Blend is a Rhone-inspired white wine from California's Central Coast, blending Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Chardonnay at 14.7% ABV. It is built around an intentional philosophy of tension, picking grapes at a just-ripe-enough precipice to preserve edgy, mineral-driven acidity while allowing rich fruit character to develop. The wine is aged in neutral oak. The aroma opens with honeysuckle and lemongrass, followed by lemon curd, sea spray and light lemon-butter undertones. The palate is bright with tart tangerine and fresh apple flesh, shifting toward ripe apricot and peach with a steely minerality and subtle vanilla bean accents. The finish is medium-long with lingering lemon peel, chamomile and a thread of dried pear.
