The wine region of Virginia
Quality pole of the American east coast, unique signature in Viognier: ample, fragrant whites with notes of apricot, white peach, honey and flowers, silky on the palate. Cabernet Franc star in red, fine and fresh (raspberry, ripe pepper, spices). Also dense Petit Verdot, round Merlot, balanced Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc and native Norton. Humid continental climate tempered by the Appalachians, 8 AVAs (Monticello, Shenandoah).
The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
