Petit Manseng 2017

7 Lady Vineyards 2017 Petite Manseng in collaboration with Michael Shaps is an excellent example of this French varietal from Virginia's Monticello AVA. Its aroma is a blend of honeyed apricot, ripe peach, and citrus zest, with a subtle hint of vanilla and baking spices. The taste is full-bodied and luscious, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, complemented by tropical fruit, golden raisins, honey, toasted nuts, and a mineral-driven finish. It pairs well with spicy Asian dishes, salty cheeses, and fruity desserts, and showcases Virginia's terroir and winemaking expertise.
