Wine Release: 2018 Mount Alto “Manteo-Nason”

IMG_4428.jpeg

Friends! We are super excited to announce the release of our first vintage, the 2018 "Manteo-Nason", a red blend composed of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot. This wine is named after the Manteo and Nason silt loams, two soils that are found on the hill-slopes of Mount Alto. In a rainy vintage like 2018, soils determine red wine quality, and this wine tells us that we are farming a very special piece of the earth.  It's a medium bodied, aromatic wine that begs to be paired with a meal, and will reward you if you can muster the patience to drink it slowly over a couple of hours.  

Because of the extremely limited quantity in this release, purchases are limited to 3 bottles per customer, at a cost of $30 per bottle.  We offer curbside pickup at Mount Alto (see dates below), free home delivery in the greater Richmond and Charlottesville areas, and mail order in Virginia and DC (see below).  Since we can only ship to folks in Virginia and DC -- friends who are in other states, can reach out via email or phone to find out about getting an allocation set aside.
