Early Mountain Vineyards Petit Manseng 2021

This is a wine of texture, structure, intensity and extreme personality. 2021 Petit Manseng boldly claims its place as the ‘red wine drinker’s’ white. Renowned for its tropical and semi-aromatic nature, Petit Manseng delivers with enticing aromas of grilled pineapple, preserved lemon, and caramelized apples, then gracefully transitions to savory notes of pastry, tarragon, and a whisper of stone. The almost complete malolactic fermentation and prolonged lees aging gift it with a notable density that perfectly supports the bright acidity. 2021 Petit Manseng is a testament to our dedication to elevating Petit Manseng, solidifying its position as a standout varietal in Virginia's wine landscape.
