Blenheim Vineyards Blanc de Blenheim 2022 Review
When the modern history of Virginia wine is written, among the long list of pioneers will be Blenheim Vineyards’ winemaker, Kirsty Harmon. From grapes like Albariño and Rkatsiteli to Grüner Veltliner, Harmon is always pushing the envelope. And now she’s taking on sparkling wine with this delicious blend of Chardonnay and Garganega — a grape native to the Veneto in northern Italy. And, as usual, she knocked it out of the park. This bubbly is all about refreshment. It has a mineral-driven nose with round, refreshing fruit on the palate. The bubbles are just right and not too aggressive but easy with a balanced stone fruit finish.
