Although technically an orange wine and a pet nat, this vintage is surprisingly reserved, sidestepping the sometimes abrasive funk and cider-like qualities that define the genres. Vidal Blanc takes center stage, a hybrid varietal crossed between Ugni Blanc and Rayon d'Or, a French\/American hybrid itself.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuartzwood\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuartzwood holds a special place in our hearts. Winemaking and veteran viticulturist, Ben Sedlins, acted as a mentor to Kelly during her early days in the world of wine. He has continued to offer guidance through the development of Artemisia Farm and Vineyard, and remains a friend after many years. Ben is a strong proponent of hybrid grapes. After over a decade working managing vineyards throughout Virginia and witnessing first hand the immense chemical burden that European grapes require in order to tolerate our humid climate, he embarked on a journey to challenge the common narrative.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHis work redefines expectations of Virginian wine in and beyond the region, proving that we can, indeed, carve out an identity that marries both wine and sustainability.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quartzwood Farm","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":40219866038435,"sku":"","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0499\/5527\/4915\/products\/QuartzwoodVidalPetNat.png?v=1620507495","url":"https:\/\/shop.artemisia.farm\/products\/vidal-pet-nat-2020","provider":"Artemisia Farm \u0026 Vineyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
