Gen Del Alma Jijiji Chenin Blanc 2018

This hand harvested, single vineyard wine is 100% Chenin Blanc from Tunuyan within the Uco Valley. The nose has multiple layers with notes of orange blossom, daffodil, lemon, quince, cardamon, apricot, and wax bean that leads into a racy and vibrant palette with generous acidity. Grapefruit, green apple, and lemon shine with a touch of salinity that leads to a fresh, bright finish. The 2018 is brighter with more depth than the 2017.
