Barboursville Estate - Vermentino Reserve

Barboursville Estate's Vermentino Reserve 2023 is a distinguished white wine that garnered the 2025 Virginia Governor's Cup, reflecting its exceptional quality. This wine captivates with vivid citrus aromatics, presenting notes of lemon blossom, lychee, and pear. On the palate, it is juicy yet elegant, offering a dry profile with notable structure, racy acidity, and a lingering mineral finish. Its balanced acidity and minerality make it an excellent pairing for seafood dishes, such as chicken scaloppine in Vermentino and lemon-butter sauce, pan-fried blue crab cakes with grilled asparagus, or sea scallop gratin in cream sauce with fresh parsley and garlic. This Vermentino is best enjoyed young but can also be cellared for up to five years, allowing its flavors to evolve gracefully over time.
