Winemaker Notes

Our Chenin Blanc has a long and storied history on Pritchard Hill®. The original vines were already producing when Donn and Molly purchased the property in the late 1960s. Following a replanting in 2007, we reintroduced our Chenin Blanc as a “Signature” designation – with a twist. While our Signature Cabernet bears Donn Chappellet’s name, Molly Chappellet’s signature graces our Chenin Blanc label. To add depth and complexity, the 2022 Chenin Blanc was fermented in a combination of neutral French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks.
