Variety: Vermentino Virginia
Winery: Barboursville Vineyards / Virginia
Fermented and matured in neutral oak barrels for seven months of lees aging, this has a scent reminiscent of slightly oxidized apple and pear slices, with supporting notes of blonde caramel, lemon yogurt and nectarine. Soft and lax on the attack, it gains vibrancy on the midpalate, ending with a pleasing lemon grass lift.
