Winemaking: In 2022 Organic Chenin Blanc grapes were hand harvested and underwent fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged in an old barrel. This wine was then blended with Chenin Blanc from the 2023 vintage that was fermented in clay vessels. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.  

This Wine: A brand new Chenin Blanc cuvée from the Hodgsons made with grapes from the Faia vineyard. A blend of different vintages have created a balanced white wine that combines mineral and fruit wonderfully. Like all of their wines, this will age very well if you can resists drinking now.  

Notes on the Winemaker: 

Mai & Kenji Hodgson work 4 hectares of vines in Rablay-Sur-Layon. They met in Vancouver before studying winemaking in Japan, eventually settling in this area of the Loire valley. Their wines are impeccably made without any additions yet there is even more potential over the coming years.
