Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc Clarksburg 750 ML

Details

This offers pleasant notes of apricot, dark caramel, grapefruit, gooseberry and pineapple. It’s medium in weight and texture, with acidity on the finish. Producer Information Herzog Wine Cellars may be one of the biggest, best-respected producers of kosher wine in North America, but it is still a family business. Because of that, the team behind both its rise to the upper echelons of American wine, and the people responsible for its day-to-day operations, have all been guided by the same principles that have allowed the Herzog family to thrive for generations. It all began more than 200 years ago in Slovakia, when a winery, brewery, and distillery were founded by Rabbi Menachem Herzog. His familys products were so highly venerated that eventually, word about them spread to the highest levels of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Emperor Franz-Josef himself ultimately made Philip Herzog a baron, and requested that he produce wines for his royal court. Yet three years after the end of World War Two, with anti-Semitism still a major problem in Europe, the Herzog family left for the the United States, looking for a new start in New York. Eugene Herzog eventually landed a job as a sales manager, truck driver, and winemaker for Royal Wine Company. Less than ten years later, he owned it.
