Dashe Cellars, Chenin Blanc 'Concrete', 2023 AFKAT_2024 this is the first amaro

this is the first amaro of this style to be made in New York

One to drink or to cellar

and filtered NYC tap water

There’s a whisper of residual sugar

It’s got all the juicy raspberry and cherry fruit you’d want from Gamay

Dashe Cellars, Chenin Blanc 'Concrete', 2023 AFKAT_2024 this is the first amaroDashe Cellars sources this Chenin Blanc from old vines in the Clarksburg AVA, a Sacramento Delta region known for cool breezes and fog. The grapes are whole cluster pressed and fermented in concrete eggs, which preserve freshness while adding subtle texture. No oak and minimal intervention highlight the grapes natural acidity and orchard fruit character. This bottling reflects Dashes move toward terroir driven, low input California whites.
