Loire Valley White Wine
Loire Chenin Blanc is characterized by its distinctive high acidity. Most tend to be off-dry to medium sweet, with notes of flowers, straw and honey.
The best sweet styles are made from grapes affected by noble rot, which become golden and honeyed. Dry styles possess a chalky minerality to them.
Spanning the Loire River as it flows out to the Atlantic Ocean, the region has diverse soils and climates.
