Winemaker Notes
A dry white wine with a hint of sweetness. Very delicate with a charming bouquet and flavors of honey, nectarine and almonds. Good balance and a clean earthy finish. Perfect with light entrees, fresh water and seafish, poultry and cheeses. A nice accompaniment to flounder, sole, turkey, Thai or Szechwan cuisine, leek and potato soup. Also excellent as an apertif.
The estate winery and vineyards are located on 830 acres of beautiful rolling hills near the Blue Ridge Mountains. We presently have 90 acres of vineyards and continue to expand. Under the direction of Luca Paschina, General Manager and winemaker, Barboursville consistently produces quality wines that have won international recognition. The Zonin family of Italy, brought their strong commitment to produce quality wines to Virginia in 1976. They were the first in the state to plant and successfully establish the revered vitis vinifera vines. The four Zonin brothers, proprietors of the largest Italian privately held wine company, descend from a family that has for centuries been wed to viticulture.
