From its inception in 2007 to building the winery in 2012, this new player on the NC wine scene has made quite a splash with its quality driven wines. It is a family owned farm tucked into the south-facing foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Sparta, NC. With 30 acres under vine, this winery is producing around 10,00 cases/year. We were very impressed when Diana Jones brought a lineup of their wines to us earlier in the year and we are delighted to have the opportunity to show four of our favorites this Saturday. Join Diana at the tasting bar for a taste and full description of the wines and their lovely property in Thurmond, NC.
The 2012 Petit Manseng offers a big aromatic nose of pears and yellow fruits as well as tropical fruits. The medium to full-bodied palate offers lots of fleshy fruit that is a joy to drink all the way through the fruit-filled yet very lively finish.
$23.99/bottle or $244.79/case($20.39)
The 2012 Barrel Chardonnay offers classic pear, apple and other orchard fruit aromas and flavors as well as a nice touch of oak spice. Nothing overdone – everything just right. $23.99/bottle or $244.79/case($20.39)
The 2012 Rosa Dia is a classic rosé crafted from Grenache (99%) and Mourvedre exhibiting an attractive coral-pink color, a nose of fresh red fruits and a light to medium-bodied palate of generally dry, lively red fruit flavors that end with a hint of sweetness. A very beguiling wine!$17.99/bottle or $183.5/case($15.29)
The 2012 Tempranillo shows how well this grape may be suited to the NC climate. Medium-bodied with classic black fruit aromas and flavors (plums, dark cherries) as well as subtle floral and licorice nuances all wrapped in a velvety texture.
$17.99/bottle or $183.5/case($15.29)
