Foxen Chenin Blanc Ernesto Wickenden Vineyard 2023
$39.00
Foxen is a legend in Santa Barbara wine country. Founded by Dick Doré and Bill Wathen in the late 70s it wasn’t until the late 80’s that they got their license (the 13th in the region which now is home to over 200). They work with some of the best fruit in the region where winemaker David Whitehair seeks to express the fruit cleanly.
This wine (and all the estate fruit) is an anomaly in the region as Foxen has own-rooted, dry farmed grapes on their estate. The fact that they can do this is quite frankly wild. In a place where pretty much everyone irrigates they don’t have to. The quirks of geography can be a funny thing. This chenin is proof that great wines can come from unlikely corners of the world.
