Winemaker Notes:

This wine is packed with different layers and nuances such as plum, red apples, strawberry, cherry, and rhubarb. Then there is a layer of creamy vanilla with a touch of lemon curd. After that comes a slightly herbal essence with a hint of spice and nuttiness. All these nuances are beautifully balanced on the palate with a bright and yet creamy finish that lingers for a while. The oak and stainless steel are in complete harmony with the wine and create a beautifully balanced chardonnay.

Vintage:

Starting with a mild winter we rolled into an early spring. In late March we started seeing temps in the 70’s with just a few cooler days to follow. The spring conditions led to excellent fruit set and ultimately a bountiful crop. The summer, for Virginia, was very mild with only a few days of hot humid conditions. The Autumn was particularly dry with warm days and cool nights. From mid-September to early October we experienced very little rain which is invaluable for maturing grapes. I believe the 2019 vintage to be the best I have experienced in Virginia for my tenure here.
