The Hobo Wine Company
Folk Machine Chenin Blanc
The small team behind The Hobo Wine Company is passionate about wine and the multitude of expressions it takes on. Part craft part business, the winery leases vineyards that seek a holistic approach to viticulture, with organic, biodynamic, and sustainable practices. In the cellar, “unforced winemaking” is the target, in order to highlight the qualities that make every bottle unique.
A large proportion of the world’s chenin blanc vines are in South Africa and France, but California is discovering the magic of this versatile grape. Folk Machine chenin blanc is the winery’s take on the variety, inspired by travels to the Loire Valley where it is impossible to avoid. The wine displays a characteristic acidity, balanced by a rich texture on the palate from its fermentation in both stainless steel and concrete egg. Citrus and stone fruit aromas and a stony minerality make this wine an excellent pairing with seafood, mild cheeses, and spicy dishes.
