Our 2019 Petit Manseng pops out of the glass with aromas of toasted coconut, fresh almond, dried pineapple and a hint of cardamom. The palate, clearly benefiting from the 2019 vintage’s long, dry summer, clearly articulates a fresh fig and quince paste as well as a light spice. The wine’s balance is lovely with the wine’s intense acidity balanced by a moderately high residual sugar and a lingering finish.  The grapes and the site decided the residual sugar as we harvested these grapes at almost 27 brix with a pH of 3.2 that we were hanging the fruit to so that we could have some sugar acid balance.
