About The Wine

Founded in 1888 in Valle de Santo Tomás, just south of Ensenada, Baja California, Bodegas de Santo Tomás stands as the oldest winery in the region and a true pioneer of Mexican winemaking.

Rooted in history that traces back to the Dominican Mission of Santo Tomás de Aquino (1791), the estate has been cultivating vines for more than a century, blending tradition, innovation, and sustainability. Today, it remains one of Mexico’s most emblematic wineries, recognized for its commitment to quality and its ability to capture the essence of Baja’s coastal terroir.

From this rich legacy comes the 2023 Bodegas de Santo Tomás Chenin Blanc, a 100% Chenin Blanc crafted to reflect the fresh, maritime character of the valley.

Elegant yet approachable, this Chenin Blanc embodies the spirit of Baja California—sunlit, expressive, and effortlessly modern—while paying homage to the enduring craftsmanship that has defined Bodegas de Santo Tomás for over 130 years.

Intense, fresh, and with low alcohol. Well-structured wine with round body. The aftertaste highlights notes of white flowers, tangerine, and nectarine that favors a pleasant and persistent finish. Pair with tacos, enchiladas, or any seafood.

THE PRODUCER

Bodegas de Santo Tomas

Founded in 1888 in the Valle de Santo Tomás, just south of Ensenada in Baja California, Bodegas de Santo Tomás stands as the oldest commercial winery in the region and among the earliest in North America.

Its origins trace even further back to vineyards planted around the old Dominican Mission de Santo Tomás de Aquino in 1791.

The estate spans multiple valleys (Santo Tomás, San Vicente and parts of Valle de Guadalupe), giving it access to varied soils and microclimates that support a wide range of grape varieties.

In recent years, the winery has placed strong emphasis on quality, sustainability and innovation under the direction of female winemakers—earning it international recognition while honoring its rich heritage.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

I have ordered this more than once. Nice bottle to have around, share with friends. Took it to a tailgate and it was gone in no time. I like Chardonnay but get tired of the big oaky ones. This is easy drinking lower ABV. You’ll pay more for a glass at a restaurant than this bottle.
