Matt Iaconis Delta California Chenin Blanc 2019
About the wine
This lively, fruit-driven Chenin Blanc is a limited-edition refresher every Angel needs to try
- A crisp burst of bright fruit flavors, from pear and peach to apricot and honeydew melon, balance the lush smoothness of this world-class Chenin Blanc for one deeply refreshing sip after another.
- This Chenin Blanc comes straight from a cool-climate vineyard in the heart of the Sacramento Delta, where afternoon breezes keep warmer temperatures in check, letting the grapes ripen perfectly, with some serious depth of flavor.
- Husband-and-wife team Matt and Alexis Iaconis founded Delta as a line of small-production wines to champion a host of their favorite regions around the Golden State. Plus, for every bottle sold, they donate a portion of the proceeds to a variety of environmental agencies to fight climate change.
Best before
This Chenin Blanc will age gracefully over the next 5+ years, but is also tasting delicious now.
Serving advice
Serve at around 58-62ºF to help the flavors open up to their fullest.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Matt Iaconis
- This rocket scientist was studying to be an astronaut before he decided wine was even cooler than space. So he dropped aeronautics and picked up a degree in winemaking from UC Davis.
- And he dropped conventional distribution just as quickly! When he saw the power of Angel funding, he immediately signed up, eager to create better wines at better prices.
- Angel funding allows this hugely talented and driven individual to apply all his attention to making the best wine possible. Whether he’s keeping it classic with big, bold Cabernet or putting a fresh, vibrant spin on traditional whites, you freed Matt to make show-stopping wines for an incredibly delicious price.
