2019 Chambourcin

Chambourcin

VA - Virginia
Alcohol 12%
Bottling Date 11Dec2022
Earthy overtones with notes of blueberries and leather. Ruby in color and aged in American oak, this is a big, bold wine that pairs well with beef, smoked meats, goat cheese and wild game such as venison. Balanced tannins with a lingering finish. Cellar friendly, this big red will improve with age.

2017 Chardonnay

Chardonnay

VA - Virginia
Alcohol 12.5%
Aged in stainless steel with slight, late exposure to oak, this Chardonnay is creamy rich, with nutty aromas of apple blossom and pear. It maintains hints of butter, citrus and grapefruit, and is tinged with a slight minerality. Balanced tannins and dryness make this wine excellent for pairing with Chesapeake Bay seafood such as raw or roasted oysters and rockfish. A lingering finish allows the delicate flavors of shrimp scampi or citrus cooked chicken to be savored.

2017 Chardonnay Reserve

Chardonnay

VA - Virginia
Alcohol 13.3%
Barrel fermented in American Oak with additional malolactic fermentation to add a long, buttery finish. This is a special Chardonnay with a strong sense of fruit on the nose, including apple, pear and citrus. On the palate it is flinty with notes of tropical fruit, hazel nut and plenty of oak. Medium bodied with a golden hue, this wine pairs well with nutty cheeses, creamy pasta, pork and, especially, seafood dishes of shrimp, crab and smoked salmon.

2019 Traminette

Traminette

VA - Virginia
Alcohol 12.6%
Lightly filtered, this Traminette shows a Champagne hue while the smell of citrus, white stone fruit and spice fills the aroma coming from it. The bright, inviting taste of passion fruit, spices, apricot and white stone fruit with a hint of ginger wafting through fill the palette, constantly moving. This wine should be drunk chilled. It is excellent with spicy dishes such as Thai food or Mexican. It is not to be neglected as a solo wine consumed just as the coolness of a summer night approaches.

2019 Rivah Red

Rosé

VA - Virginia
Alcohol 13%
A delightfully sweet (6% residual sugar), ruby-red wine made from 80% Chambourcin rose, 15% Chambourcin and 5% Niagara. Starts with a burst of strawberry aromas and follows with a subtle nose of blueberry supported by candied fruit. An excellent aperitif when paired with cheesecake, cannolis, or a Tiramisu. In addition to desserts, it is a wonderful everyday patio or hot tub wine. But be adventurous. The sweetness of Rivah Red also allows it to be used in slushies or for pouring over ice cream. Really!
