868 Estate Vineyards2017 Vidal Blanc2020🏆 Governor's Cup Winner
“A dessert wine in the Italian passito style, produced by partially drying the grapes to concentrate flavors. Vibrant and fresh, with brisk acidity to balance the residual sweetness, and a pleasing mid-palate density reminiscent of Sauternes. The first Governor's Cup winner made entirely from Loudoun County fruit.”
Winemaker: Carl DiManno
Composition: 100% Vidal Blanc (passito method, neutral French oak, 14 months)
Vineyard: Estate grown, Loudoun County
