- Land: Zeitgeist Cellars' St. Helena Chenin Blanc 2022 comes from a rare parcel in St. Helena, Napa Valley, where Chenin Blanc has become scarce, dwindling from over 2000 acres in the 1980s to just 16 acres today. This heritage white grape variety, once prevalent across California, offers a unique glimpse into the state's viticultural past and its evolving present.
- Wine: The ninth bottling from Zeitgeist Cellars, this Chenin Blanc was harvested on September 1, 2022. It underwent fermentation and was aged sur lie in used French Oak barrels for eight months, contributing to its expressive style. The 2022 vintage showcases zest, daphne blossom, and lavender on the nose, with a palate of smooth honey, mandarin, and nectarine, embodying a confident, savory, and perfumed profile that's both complex and approachable.
- People: Zeitgeist Cellars is the brainchild of winemakers Jennifer Williams and Mark Porembski, whose partnership thrives on their varied taste profiles and collaborative spirit. Jennifer, with her agricultural background from Cal Poly and extensive experience in Napa and Spain, brings a deep understanding of viticulture and winemaking. Mark, who transitioned from a literary background to winemaking, contributes his diverse experiences from Napa Valley to New Zealand. Together, they focus on creating pure and delightful wines that reflect their meticulous, hands-on approach and the essence of their combined experiences.
