Early Mountain Petit Manseng 2021

93 pts. James Suckling - "For a dry, waxy and tangy expression of petit Manseng, try the Early Mountain Petit Manseng Virginia 2021". This Petit Manseng delivers with enticing aromas of grilled pineapple, preserved lemon, and caramelized apples, then gracefully transitions to savory notes of pastry, tarragon, and a whisper of stone. The almost complete malolactic fermentation and prolonged lees aging gift it with a notable density that perfectly supports the bright acidity.
