About the Winning Wines

Petit Manseng 2024. An expressive white with tropical and floral aromatics. The 2024 bottling shows a gently sweet finish that is lifted by bright acidity, making it a versatile companion to salty cheeses or fruit desserts.

Petit Verdot 2022. A structured Virginia red known for dark fruit and firm tannin when grown in warm vintages. The Gold medal underscores its polish and cellar potential with hearty dishes.

Albariño 2024. A limited production white noted by the winery as a tasting room and online exclusive. The Silver medal signals a zesty, seafood-friendly style that rewards serving well chilled.

October Harvest NV. A late harvest, sweet finish white with ripe stone fruit aromas. It is a natural fit for cheesecake, baked pears or a simple plate of blue cheese.

Pinot Grigio 2024. A bright, easygoing white that shines with salads, shellfish and light pasta dishes.

Petit Verdot Rosé 2023. A dry, medium-bodied rosé made from Petit Verdot. Expect red berry lift and refreshing acidity for charcuterie and grilled poultry.
