After months of anticipation, we are thrilled to introduce our first Virginia white: the 2023 Dry Petit Manseng!
This rare Vinifera varietal from France truly shines in Virginia. Vibrant and unique with bold floral, spice and fruit notes, balanced acidity, and a rich, aromatic finish, you can expect this to make a perfect pairing for fall gatherings or simply to enjoy on its own.
This wine has beautiful aging potential, so don’t be afraid to let it cellar.
The fresh nose opens with apple and pear, brightening into passion fruit, pineapple, mango, peach and a dollop of cream. White blossoms, honeysuckle, sweet almond, & lemon zest give way to coriander, white pepper, and fresh ginger. This dry wine greets your mouth with a burst of juicy acidity, a full mid-palate delivering fresh spice before fading into a pleasant long finish.
Stay tuned for some great recipes and pairing ideas for Thanksgiving! We can’t wait for you to try it! Share your thoughts here!
Cheers!
