An aromatic, assertive blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Petit Manseng.  Full co-fermentation with partial whole-cluster renders a bright, fresh palate with plenty of cherry-strawberry vibrancy.  The finish is floral and spiced with lavender and white pepper.  An unexpectedly endearing approach to Virginian Cab Franc. 

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. They aim for a bullseye yet prefer to land slightly off center. 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.
