Force Celeste Chenin Blanc - Mother Rock 2019From the importer: "Semi orange with a bit of skin contact. Zesty and fresh nose with aromas of apples, pears and rain soaked stones. The palate is silky, gripping texture (from the skin contact) and quite fresh with an herbal edge and pear notes reemerging. The finish is a dichotomy between a mouthful or rocks and slated fresh herbs, a touch of tannin and mouthwatering acidity."

The wine is bottled exclusively for the United States

standing out with a composition of more than 90% Grenache noir from century-old vines planted in 1902 on sandy soils

that reflect the high elevation soils exposed to the dramatic day to night temperature swings that make for that juicy acidity in their grapes
