Berkley Wines ‘Norgard’ Chenin Blanc, Mendocino, California","description":"\u003cp\u003e100% Chenin Blanc \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eT. Berkley Wines is a small California project founded by husband-and-wife team Tyler and Mackenzie Berkley, focused on producing minimal intervention wines with balance, freshness, and a strong sense of place. Working with organically farmed vineyards throughout Northern California, the Berkleys emphasize thoughtful farming partnerships and restrained winemaking, allowing the vineyard character to remain at the forefront. Their wines are intentionally lower-intervention—native yeast fermentations, limited additions, and careful use of oak—resulting in wines that feel vibrant and transparent rather than manipulated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe “Norgard” Chenin Blanc is sourced from Mendocino County, where cooler temperatures and coastal influence help preserve acidity and aromatic precision. Chenin Blanc, originally from France’s Loire Valley, has found a quiet but exciting home in California, especially in cooler regions where the grape can maintain both freshness and texture. Known for its versatility, Chenin can produce wines ranging from razor-sharp and mineral-driven to richly textured and honeyed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Berkleys lean into the grape’s more energetic side here, highlighting citrus, texture, and salinity rather than ripeness alone. Gentle handling in the cellar preserves the wine’s natural tension while allowing subtle complexity to develop. The result is a Chenin Blanc that feels both classic and distinctly Californian—fresh, layered, and incredibly food-friendly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"3 Parks Wine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Glenwood Park","offer_id":48173406454001,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Old Fourth Ward","offer_id":48173406486769,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0409\/8165\/9808\/files\/2023T.BerkleyWines_Norgard_CheninBlanc_Mendocino_California.png?v=1778795148","url":"https:\/\/3parkswine.com\/products\/2023-t-berkley-wines-norgard-chenin-blanc-mendocino-california","provider":"3 Parks Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
