one of the earliest harvest endings for Figgins Estate Vineyard

The nose delivers intense ripe fruit

This is benchmark-type stuff for Virginia sparkling wine

with a gilding of modern-style mocha and bacon-accented toast that melds perfectly into the core of gently steeped plum and blackberry fruit

layer by layer to form a rich full-bodied wine with chalky

This wine expresses our entire estate’s dramatically diverse terroir

Healthy late season rains pushed back bud-break and the growing season by 3-4 weeks

Eric Boissenot consults

and long finish
