Acidity incarnate.  Virginia Riesling takes the lead in this bright, piercing white blend.  Petit Manseng picks up the finish with buoyant aromatics and a gentle, floral decline.  Both varieties were whole cluster pressed and co-fermented with ambient yeasts in stainless steel.  Extended lees contact with full malolactic brings body and depth to something otherwise searingly uninhibited. 

A powerful presence with unexpected versatility on the table.  Pairs widely with all manner of rich foods, from seafood to cheeses to poultry to pork.  Particularly great with smoked or cured fish. 

About Lightwell Survey

Lightwell Survey is shining new light on Virginian winemaking. Their small batches of lively reds, dense whites and unique combinations of the two come with no preconceived descriptions or traditional aspirations. Started in the fall of 2015 with their first harvest in partnership with Early Mountain Vineyards in Madison, VA, their wines will continue to delve into traditional and not so familiar territory.
