Shypoke Chenin Blanc 2021

Sourced from some of the last remaining Chenin Blanc acreage in the Napa Valley, this is a wine of extraordinary rarity and craft. The fruit is hand-picked and whole-cluster pressed, then transferred to naturally ferment in unlined, handmade Tuscan clay amphora.

Fermentation at 55°F lingered gently over three months with near-daily stirring — a patient, attentive process that builds texture and complexity without intervention. The wine was then racked clean and bottled in January 2022. The result is a Chenin Blanc of real depth and character: mineral, alive, and unlike anything else from Napa.
