Summer Duo
Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Made from grapes grown at the best vineyard sites in the area this wine is a beautiful expression of what local terroir can produce. Our lovely climate means acidity remains high on these grapes, making it one of our best food wines, pairing particularly well with herb-driven sauces served over chicken, tofu, or fish dishes. With its distinctive, vivid aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle and bright hints of orange peel and green papaya on the tongue, it has a balanced, clean finish and a zesty acidity that makes this Sauvignon Blanc a classic.
Nose: jasmine, honeysuckle, wet slate, fennel, lime
Palate: orange peel, kiwi, green papaya, gooseberry, sorrel
Finish: light plus acidity, light body, medium finish
Varietal: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Viognier 2023
The Viognier grape was almost extinct in the 1960's, with only 35 acres growing in France, but Virginia has played a role in its dynamic comeback. While the color and aroma may suggest a sweet wine, Viogniers are predominantly dry and are known for producing heavy aromatics with low acidity. Our 2023 vintage is fruit-forward with a creamy feel and light acidity, making it delightful to sip or pair with food.
Nose: lychee, white peach, apricot, orange blossom
Palate: mango, passion fruit, pineapple, vanilla bean
Finish: light minerality, light plus acid, creamy body
Varietal: 100% Viognier
