2023 Monte Xanic Chenin Blanc, Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico

From: Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, MexicoVarietal: Chenin Blanc Taste: This bright, aromatic Chenin Blanc from Monte Xanic is a beautifully bouncy, youthful Chenin. An attractive medley of apple, quince, orange blossom, white peach, a hint of bee pollen, and lemon zest meets a racy, refreshing core that leads to a tingly, mouth-watering finish. Delicious! Pairing: This gorgeous white wine will grace your table with energy and pizazz. Pair it with roasted poultry or creamy chicken or pork dish, baked/breaded/fried/grilled/ poached flaky white fish (check out the recipe below!), and other seafood mains that center around shrimp, prawns, scallops, or crab. Pastas with a citrus or cream sauce will work beautifully, too, along with risotto, soft cheeses, and roasted winter vegetables served by themselves or even as a gratin.
