WINE DESCRIPTION
The fruit, hand-harvested and triple sorted (in the vineyard, before, and after destemming), was primarily whole berries gravity-fed into stainless steel fermenters. To concentrate the juice for red fermentations, approximately 20% of the juice was bled from the tanks after 24-48 hours and used for rosé. Fermentations were conducted separately by variety and clone, with daily pump overs and manual punch downs for maximum extraction of color, aroma, and flavor. After 8-10 days of fermentation and 7-14 days of post-fermentation maceration, the young wines were pressed and aged in French oak barrels for 12-15 months, completing malolactic fermentation in barrel.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Boxwood Estate Trellis is an exceptional wine.This Bordeaux-style blend is crafted with precision and care, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and complex.
On the nose, Boxwood Estate Trellis offers enticing aromas of black cherry, cassis, and cedar. These aromas are complemented by hints of tobacco, vanilla, and a touch of earthiness. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity.
In terms of flavor, this wine displays a beautiful balance between fruit and savory notes. Ripe blackberry and plum flavors mingle with layers of black pepper, graphite, and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
Boxwood Estate Trellis is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully. Its structure and complexity will continue to evolve over time, revealing even more layers of flavor and nuance.

ORIGINS
Winery: Boxwood Estate
Region: Virginia
Virginia is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States. It is bordered by Maryland, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to the south and west; Pennsylvania to the north; and Delaware to the east. With a long history of winemaking, Virginia is now one of the most exciting wine regions in the US.
Virginia has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1600s when the first vines were planted by English settlers. The state was once home to the largest wine-producing region in the US, but Prohibition in the 1920s put an end to the industry. In the late 20th century, the industry began to revive, and today Virginia is home to over 300 wineries.CUSTOMER RATING
