Comments: This wine was crafted in a dry style. Normally made into a sweet wine, the Petit Manseng grape is tremendously versatile and shows intense tropical aromas and citrus notes. This single vineyard selection has been a fan favorite since its release. Due to our Petit Manseng’s higher acidity, it is a perfect choice with buttery shellfish such as clams, oysters or lobster.
