Lovingston Gilbert's Vineyard Pinotage 2022

Lovingston Gilbert's Vineyard Pinotage is crafted from grapes grown in the temperate climate of Virginia, where cool nights and warm days contribute to balanced ripening. The vineyard's well-drained, clay-loam soils enhance the varietal's unique character. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit profile, followed by maturation in a combination of French and American oak barrels, imparting subtle spice and structure. This medium-bodied red wine showcases ripe plum and blackberry flavors, with hints of flint and earth, designed for immediate enjoyment yet capable of developing further complexity with short-term cellaring.
