$25.00 / 500 mL Bottle

Adeliza is an off-dry white wine from the Petit Manseng grape. Aged in Cognac barrels, the often lemony Petit Manseng then transforms to a sweet and smoky, fuller bodied wine. Enjoy as an aperitif or digestif. The front label reads, “Devoted, sweet, but powerful.” Precisely the way to describe Adeliza, Countess of Aumale (later Albemarle). She was born c. 1030, sister of William the Conqueror, who conquered England in 1066. Her third marriage, toOdo of Champagne(see our Estate Odo), bore three children,Stephen (see our Estate Merlot), Judith, and Adeliza II, andbegan the Le Gras (Grace) family line.Most significantly, Adeliza was one of the few women to have extensive lands in both Normandy and in England in her name at the time, making her one of the most powerful women in Europe!
