| | 2006 Vin Gris | |
| The 2006 Vin Gris is our dry rosé style wine. It is a lovely blend of five different red varietals, including Malbec from White Hall's own vines. The juice was bled off these cool, freshly crushed grapes with only 1 hour of skin contact allowed and then processed like a white wine resulting in a south-of-France, Mediterranean-style dry rosé with lush red fruit flavors that makes a wonderful aperitif wine.
Tasting Notes: A dry wine, this vintage emerges with fresh mint aromas, carries into a palate full of strawberries and apples, and finishes with hints of almond flavors.
Blend: 23% Cabernet Franc, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Touriga, 14%Merlot, 13% Malbec
Bottled: March 16, 2007

| | 2006 Soliterre | |
| The Soliterre, our version of a German Eiswein, is a sweet dessert wine. In Europe, grapes are naturally frozen while here, grapes are harvested in early September and mechanically frozen for three months. The fruit is then pressed partially frozen and the resulting juice is concentrated and viscous. The residual sugar levels are also higher than normal, allowing us to partially ferment the wine, while leaving behind some sweet flavors. The wine is then aged entirely in stainless steel tanks for five months. The result is a wonderful dessert wine with fabulous concentration and a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity. Try it alongside your favorite berry or peach dessert!
Tasting Notes: Fresh fragrances of herbs and sweet teas precede into a full palate of passion fruit and candied mangos and a finish enriched with honey flavors.
