Sauvignon Blanc 2021 - Virginia Governor's Cup 2023 - Gold Medal Winner
2023 Monticello Cup - Silver Medal Winner
Made from grapes grown at Pippin Hill and 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 chamomile and kiwi and bright hints of citrus and gooseberry on the tongue, it has a balanced, clean finish and a zesty acidity that makes this Sauvignon Blanc one of our best.

Palate: grapefruit, lime, gooseberry, limestone, white pepper

Varietals: 95.3% Sauvignon Blanc, 4.7% Chardonnay

Zero White 2021
We wouldn’t name just any wine after our premier boutique hotel, Zero George. Our Zero White represents that hint of surprise and indulgence that we create with the hotel experience, all wrapped within the breezy floral (and unforgettable) character of Charleston, South Carolina. This wine is fruity and complex with a clean, acidic finish--the perfect blend of rich yet lively and highly drinkable, which makes it a go-to for the beach, garden parties or your table, no matter the occasion.

Viognier 2021
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 2021 vintage is fruit forward with a creamy feel and light acidity, making it delightful to sip or pair with food.
Nose: honeysuckle, jasmine, chamomile, fig
Palate: lemon zest, cantaloupe, green guava, white peppercorn
Finish: light minerality, light acid
Varietals: 94% Viognier, 6% Petit Manseng
Food Pairing: Fresh chèvre, gruyère, aged gouda, and double and triple creams, creamy poultry dishes, meater fish, mildly spicy dishes.
