2020 GOVERNOR'S CUP WINNER
2017 Vidal Blanc
Top wine in Virginia · Virginia Governor's Cup, 2020
“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.”
