Albarino

Albariño is the ultra-premium white varietal of Spain. A rich, exotic dry wine bursting with bright aromas and bracing flavors of citrus, almonds, apricots, and peaches. Sensational!

Chardonnay
-
Two versions: Estate - crisp and light A flavorful expression of the alluringly delicate and elegant quality of Chardonnay grown in Virginia. Crisp apple aromas and delicate hints of vanilla are beautifully balanced in the refreshing and lively wine. Reserve -(oak aged, with malolactic) This ultra-premium-quality American Chardonnay is made in the finest old-world tradition. 100% barrel fermented in year-old French oak barrels, aged sur lie (on the yeast lees, in the traditional Burgundian style), it offers up aromas of pineapple, key lime, butterscotch and toasted nuts. The “buttery” smoothness on the palate adds an extraordinarily appealing richness.
-
Petit Manseng
-
Chrysalis Vineyards is extremely proud to present America’s first varietally labeled Petit Manseng - traditionally grown in the Jurançon region of Southwest France. Petit Manseng is an aromatic grape producing sweet wines bursting with aromas and flavors of flowers, honey, candied fruit and spice. It is important to note that the sweetness and balanced acidity in this wine is the result of natural ripening of the fruit in the Virginia sun, producing an elegant wine with a clean, crisp finish.

This extraordinary Northern Rhone varietal offers wonderful citrus, tropical and pear aromas, while retaining the classic dry quality of Viognier - eclipsing our award winning 2001 vintage.

Rubiana
Inspired by the alluring wines of Northern Spain, Rubiana is a Spanish-styled red wine, blended from some of the best varieties grown in this renowned region. Medium bodied, with an intensely aromatic nose of smoke, black fruit, and violets, it displays a firm tannin structure, warmth. As it ages, this wine promises to develop its complexity, while it maintains its earthy characteristics.

Papillon (Tannat/Petit Verdot Blend)
Papillon is the French word for butterfly. This wine exemplifies the balance of understanding the grapes that grow well in Virginia with the finesse required to produce an elegant wine, true to its varietal characteristics. Our blending of several rare and traditional grape varieties of southwest France.has produced a big, fruit forward red, with layers of earthy cedar and coffee, and a touch of pepper. Though this wine is age-worthy, the approachable tannin structure allows for enjoyment now, as well as for years to come.
-
Tannat
-
Hailing from the Madiran region of southwest France, this black-berried grape found a home in Virginia. Perfumed, and layered with smoky roasted meat, leather and cocoa, this complex wine shows a backbone of spicy black fruits with nuances of vanilla, coffee, and background oak. The big structured tannins carry through to a long finish and promise a long life in the bottle.
