| | 2008 Chardonnay |
|
| This Chardonnay was fermented and aged on its lees half each in French and American oak barrels and held in stainless steel tanks for ten months. Over the years, it has become known as "Charlottesville's Chardonnay," and was bottled this year with both screw cap and cork closures. Our largest production, this wine is fashioned with beautiful extraction of fruits, fresh and lively acidity, and subtle, well-integrated oak flavors. |
| | 2008 Screwcap Chardonnay |
|
| |
| | 2008 Chardonnay Reserve |
|
| Aged on its lees in our premium French oak barrels for 10 months, this wine is a blend of the New and Old Blocks from White Hall and is 100% hand-picked estate fruit. The wine has delightful fruit on the palate, a crisp clean finish, and a touch of French oak flavors and aromas. |
| | 2010 Pinot Gris |
|
| The 2009 Pinot Gris was harvested in several estate lots. The majority of these copper colored grapes were harvested then crushed and left on the skins for 4 hours to give it a portion of the richness the"gris " style calls for. They were then pressed off the skins and fermented entirely in neutral oak. Malolactic fermentation was inhibited and the wine was aged for 7 months. |
| | 2009 Gewurztraminer |
|
| Following harvest, our 2009 Gewurztraminer was de-stemmed and cold soaked for 6 hours and then pressed; the juice was added to barrels and steel tanks for fermentation. This vintage of our Gewurztraminer was also made in an Alsatian style, making this a delightful compliment to Asian dishes and spicier foods, as well as a pleasant wine to enjoy on its own. |
| | Sugar Ridge White NV |
|
| Named after the road in front of the winery (Sugar Ridge Road). This vintage was also fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks and bottled with screw cap closures. |
| | Breakheart Red NV |
|
| Named after the road in front of the winery, this NV Breakheart Red is an easy-drinking, fruit-forward blend of some of White Hall's best varietals. The juice was aged in a combination of French and American neutral oak barrels, adding the perfect amount of body and depth to the wine, while retaining vibrant fresh fruit flavors. This is the perfect red for sipping on a hot summer day with a light meal. A local favorite, our winemakers change the blend of this wine with each vintage, allowing for experimentation. |
| | 2009 Merlot |
|
| Light and fruity, this wine was aged for eight months in both French and American oak barrels. It was fermented half in small bins and half in the French Delestage method. Blended with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon, our Merlot has a long and smooth finish. |
| | 2009 Petit Verdot |
|
| A popular Bordeaux varietal that has recently gained much recognition in Virginia, this is our fifth vintage of Petit Verdot, and has become one of our bestsellers! The grapes were fermented half in small bins and half with the French Delestage method, and the fruit was then aged in French and American oak. One of our deepest and most complex wines, the Petit Verdot shows great potential for long-term cellaring with its rich burgundy color, smooth tannic structure, and deep flavors of fruit and spice, enhanced by tobacco notes. |
| | 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon |
|
| After fermentation the fruit underwent extended maceration, enhancing the color and body of the wine. The Cabernet was blended with Petit Verdot to develop the depth and intensity on the palate. The well-balanced acidity, tannins, and flavor profile of this wine make it an ideal pairing for food. |
| | 2009 Touriga |
|
| The 2009 Touriga was aggressively managed throughout the growing season keeping the yields low and sunlight at maximum levels into the canopy. The resulting grapes were then harvested in optimum conditions and fermented for couple of weeks before going into 100% American Oak and beginnning malo-lactic-fermentation. Aged 9 months |
| | 2008 Cuvee des Champs |
|
| Literally translated as "blend of the fields",this local favorite also shares the owners' last name. The Cuvee is our premium red wine, made from the best fruit and juice that each vintage has to offer. A classic Bordeaux blend, our 2008 vintage was aged for 24 months in our finest oak barrels. |
| | 2007 Soliterre |
|
| The Soliterre, our version of a German Eiswein, is a sweet dessert wine. While the grapes are naturally frozen in Europe, we harvest our grapes in early September and mechanically freeze them for three months. The wine is aged entirely in stainless steel tanks for five months, resulting in a wonderful dessert wine with fabulous concentration and a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity. |
| | 2006 Edichi |
|
| This port-style dessert wine was named after Mrs. Edith Champ, a co-owner of White Hall Vineyards. A blend of Touriga (a Portuguese varietal) and Petit Verdot, the 2006 vintage shows intense spicy aromas and wonderfully full flavors. With residual sugar and alcohol levels that are slightly lower than typical ports, this is a fantastic dessert wine. Enjoy a glass with a piece of chocolate for an added treat! |
