2019 Walsh Family Wine Petit Manseng
Petit Manseng is a wonderful grape to grow in Virginia, and one that as of yet has not found a consistent, signature winemaking style. They can vary from dry to quite sweet, with differing approaches on oak and aging. That makes it an exciting grape for our state, as winemakers are still working toward the best approach.
100% Petit Manseng; 77% North Gate, 23% Twin Notch Vineyard

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our 2019 Petit Manseng is highly aromatic and brings flavors of fresh pineapple up front and gives way to bright acidity that could almost be mistaken for effervescence, lingering on the finish this wine feels like a vacation in a glass (or bottle).
Winemaker Notes
Our first varietal bottling of Petit Manseng hopefully shows the direction we'd like to move this grape into - textural, complex, age-worthy, with high acids and a very refreshing finish.
Food Pairing Notes
Pairs best with Thai drunken noodles, spicy peach chutney over baked Brie, and game night with friends.
