2022
Petit Verdot
Middleburg AVA · Estate Grown · 100% Petit Verdot
The 2022 growing season proved to be a strong year for the region of Virginia. Yields were generous and the fruit showed excellent quality. While not as intensely dry or concentrated as 2023, the vintage beautifully expressed both varietal character and terroir. A season that rewarded patience in both the vineyard and the cellar.
This Petit Verdot was fermented in one-ton fermentation bins, utilizing different fermentation techniques across separate vessels to build flavor and structure. After 10 to 14 days of initial fermentation, the wine moved into an extended maceration phase for 28 days before pressing off the skins. The wine then aged for 22 months in 70% French and 30% American oak before bottling.
