Petit Manseng has really started to make a name for itself here in Virginia due the thick skin and loose clustered nature of this variety. This makes the grape well-suited to the environmental elements that are typical in an east coast growing season. Petit Manseng is often made into a late harvest dessert wine, however our version is a dry style with tropical notes and citrus zest. It is a fuller-bodied white with lots of pineapple and lemon intensity on the palate, which is emphasized by the amount of acidity that the variety is known for. This predominant quality of acidity contributes to the bright finish of this wine and long age ability.
