2025 Pax "Helios" Chenin Blanc, California, USA
ABOUT THIS WINE
100% Chenin Blanc sourced from 50% Lyman Ranch (Amador County), 33% Marine Terraces (Santa Cruz Mountains), 17% Alder Springs Vineyard (Laytonville). Vines are grown in a mix of red granite, decomposed sandstone, clay, and gravelly loam soils. 100% Whole-Cluster Pressed with indigenous yeast fermentation, then aged 7 months in elevage in Austrian & French Oak 500L Puncheons and Stainless Steel Barrels.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Pax and Pam moved to wine country in 1997 to create a lifestyle that involved working with wine. After a few years of tasting and sourcing wine from all over California, Pax finally found a vineyard in which he felt a kismet connection. Alder Springs Vineyard was the site and subsequently led to the launch of the PAX brand in 2000.
The Mahles made a bold choice by favoring the “untapped potential" of the Syrah grape. Their entire lineup of wines came from cool climate vineyards in Sonoma County and Mendocino. These wines went on to be highly sought after and Pax quickly became established as one of California’s premier producers of Syrah.
From day one, all fruit has been sourced from organically and/or sustainably farmed vineyards. All Pax Wines are crushed by foot, fermented using ambient yeasts and crafted without the use of unnatural additives. Presently, their production has evolved to include rare and intriguing varieties including Trousseau Gris, Pineau D'Aunis, and Mondeuse Noire, along with a host of others from carefully selected sites up and down the California coast.
