A Kosher White Wine For Passover

The Herzog family moved to the United States in 1948, but they had already been producing wine in their native Czechoslovakia for six generations. The Herzogs survived fascism and communism before leaving Europe. They now specialize in kosher wines from a variety of locations in California, one of them being Clarksburg, on the Sacramento River.

The 2024 Herzog Lineage Chenin Blanc is made from grapes grown in Clarksburg. Alcohol hits 13.5% abv and the price is just over $21.

This pale yellow wine has a nose that bursts with citrus minerality and dried apricot. The palate brings a good level of acidity and flavors of Meyer lemon, apple, and orange zest. It's a refreshing wine, one that will pair well with any sort of seafood, especially shellfish.
