Winter White Duo

Chardonnay Reserve 2022

Our Reserve Chardonnay is just that -- the best of the best, reserved just for you. Made from only the highest quality of the Chardonnay grapes we grow, and with inspiration from Burgundy winemaking techniques, this beauty is then aged 9 months in oak (57% of that in French oak, if you’re curious). All to say, our Reserve Chardonnay lives up to the label, with complex aromas, and a fruitiness balanced with hints of poached pear and brioche. Balance here is key, and this one hits it.

Nose:  nutmeg, ginger, golden raisin, beeswax, honeysuckle

Palate:  poached pear, brioche, caramelized leeks, cantaloupe, yellow apple

Finish: light oak, high acid, medium body, light dryness

Varietal:  100% Chardonnay

 

Viognier 2022

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 2022 vintage is fruit-forward with a creamy feel and light acidity, making it delightful to sip or pair with food.

Nose:  jasmine, elderflower, lime, daffodil 

Palate:  nectarine, white peach, elderflower, limestone

Finish:  light minerality, light plus acid, creamy body

Varietal:  100% Viognier
