Petit Manseng is one of the higher acid varieties that we produce in Virginia making it a natural fit to age in an egg-shaped concrete tank. Concrete is porous like oak which allows small amounts of oxygen in to help soften the acidity in the wine. Concrete differs from oak in its oxygen transfer because it imparts no wood flavor on the wine, keeping it fresh and fruity. This wine is fuller bodied than our regular Petit Manseng that is aged in stainless steel, but it still bursts with tropical flavors and a gracious amount of weight from the lees stirring that happens due to the egg shape.
