Winemaker Notes
Jurassic Park Vineyard was planted in 1982, making it one of the oldest Chenin Blanc Vineyards on the Central Coast. Vine age, sandy hillside soils and natural low yielding vines yield fruit with exceptional balance and depth. Steen is the South African name for Chenin Blanc. This wine takes winemaker Ernst back to his deep South African Roots.

Memorable effort! Chalk, dried earth and mineral from start to finish; medium bodied, very crisp on the palate; dry and and active on the palate; lime peel in the flavors; tangy aftertaste. There are few chenin blancs in the New World of this magnitude.
Rooted in the hills of Santa Barbara County, Storm Wines emphasizes old world influences and new world techniques. The Mediterranean climate, diverse soils, and exciting new opportunities in this budding Central Coast wine region have combined to drive Ernst’s passion for producing his wine. You're invited to experience the unique personality of both vintage and site in Storm Wines.
