Our 2022 C² highlights all the great attributes of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. We fermented the Chenin Blanc in clay amphora to enhance minerality and white floral notes. The Chardonnay was fermented in tank then moved to neutral French oak barrels for aging. 63% Chenin Blanc, 37% Chardonnay and 100% delicious! This wine hits all the marks. Only 250 cases produced.

Winemaker Notes
This was our first wine we made from the property, and most likely the only time we will make this blend as a still wine. In 2023 all of the Chenin and most of the Chardonnay went to traditional method sparkling wine. It will be a few years until they are ready...

This might be one of my favorite Virginia white wines. Very crisp and refreshing. Love that they used the amphora to balance out the acidity and finish!

Incredibly unique concoction. It’s so delicious I wish I had bought a whole case. No wonder it won a medal at the Governor’s Cup!
