Horton Route 33 is crafted from grapes grown in Virginia's diverse climate, benefiting from warm days and cool nights that enhance flavor development. This wine is a blend of several varietals, each contributing to its complexity and balance. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit character, while a portion undergoes malolactic fermentation to add a creamy texture. The wine is aged briefly in neutral oak barrels to integrate flavors without overpowering the fruit. Horton Route 33 is designed to be approachable and versatile, suitable for casual sipping or pairing with a range of dishes.
