Lightwell Survey “Strange Hybrid Moments”

2020
Shenandoah Valley, Virginia
21% Blaufränkisch, 17% Petit Manseng + hybrids


Presumably, the name of this wine is inspired by the three hybrid grapes that make up the bulk of the blend. Vidal Blanc and Traminette were developed in the mid 20th century and, while it was developed in the 1860s, Chambourcin did not gain in popularity until the 1960s. And I think we all know things got strange in the 60s. This wine is funky with ripe berry notes and nervy acid. It needs 30 minutes of decanting and can be enjoyed alone or with soft cheeses and pasta.
