This is a wine of texture, structure and intensity. Petit Manseng always performs well in the winter months with the richness and density to pair with the foods our bodies crave to keep us warm. The aromas and flavors complement this personality with honeyed tropical notes and rich creaminess, anchored by a stony core, leading to precision in the finish. With 2020, we find a theoretical blend of 2018 and 2019. With almost full malolactic, there is creaminess enrobing the acidity and bringing flavors of pastry and baked bread to play with the mango and peach fruits, but there is a freshness of fruit that recalls the lighter style of the 2018 rather than the oxidative character of the 2019. Because of this, it is more versatile across the table and seasons, as it is more in balance with lighter foods and warmer outside temperatures.

Description

‘We love Petit Manseng and are excited to see it becoming a more prominent grape in Virginia. It’s valuable to us because it’s a tough grape in the vineyard – it’s frost- and cold-tolerant, and resists mildew well. When the grapes survive well in this climate that means we can intervene less in the vineyard – which we like! We think Petit Manseng might even be better suited to Virginia than it’s original home of the Jura in France – at least for the production of dry wines. In our winemaking program, Petit Manseng is an integral part and foundation of our Five Forks white blend. We’re also making a 100% varietal dry Petit Manseng because we want to showcase the distinctiveness of this grape that is singular here in Virginia.’ – Early Mountain
