In June, big news shook the Virginia wine world: the Bouygues family, owner of top Bordeaux second growth Château Montrose, bought RdV Vineyards, marking their first acquisition outside of France.
RdV Vineyards, named for the founder Rutger de Vink, stood in as a ‘first growth’ for the state, with a small production of highly allocated wines asking close to £200.
Not only does the deal testify to the triumph of the state’s pursuit of carefully managed Bordeaux varieties, but it also reflects the fine wine market’s belief in the future of Virginia viticulture.

<h2>A ‘petit’ surprise</h2>
<p>In newer wine regions, <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/learn/new-bordeaux-grapes-wines-420290/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bordeaux varieties</a></strong> often get planted first. Global pricing and prestige for Cabernet Sauvignon and, to a lesser extent, Cabernet Franc and Merlot entice winemakers with the promise of grape brand recognition. However, when it comes to whites, Bordeaux varieties don’t always suit the site.</p>
<p>Sauvignon Blanc has found its footing in many places (and plantings continue to grow), but grapes that have prospered commercially and qualitatively run the gamut. Chardonnay and Viognier have been fruitful for the longest time, but a variety of relative international obscurity has rapidly risen to the top: Petit Manseng.</p>
<p>White grapes comprised 38% of the state’s plantings, with a significant jump in Petit Manseng since 2105 of more than 40 hectares. Petit Manseng saw an 8.5 ha or 12% increase in plantings in 2022 over 2021 alone.</p>
<p>Petit Manseng migrated across the Atlantic Ocean to alight in <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine-travel/charlottesville-central-virginia-a-wine-lovers-guide-497646/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlottesville, Virginia</a></strong>, from the foothills of the Pyrenees in southwest France. A professor of viticulture at Virginia Tech, Tony Wolf, brought the grape from Jurançon in 1987 to test its suitability in sticky, wet weather.</p>
<p>Today, on a plateau of a western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Jeff White of Glen Manor farms it for its small, thick-skinned clusters. White likens the resulting wines to Vouvray Chenin Blanc.</p>
<h2>A fit for the climate</h2>
<p>‘Though it has different aromas, its high acidity and big flavours plus a little sweetness, for me, suggests that Virginia Petit Manseng can age similar to Vouvray – around 10 to 20 years’, he says.</p>
<p>White believes it’s a great climate-proof grape for the state. ‘It fits Virginia well with our humidity and usual overabundance of rains. Tiny berries, loose clusters, and tough skins hold up well to our environment. It&#8217;s the only variety I grow where I haven&#8217;t seen botrytis develop,’ he says.</p>
<p>Indeed, on the accompanying list of 20 recommended wines, five are single-varietal Petit Manseng and a sixth feature it in a blend. In the last decade, winemakers have not only figured out best practices for farming it but also how to make compelling, complex wines.</p>
<p>Virginia Petit Manseng ranges between 14 and 15% ABV, tasting redolent of pineapple, ripe peach, and apricot and finishing with a distinct salted caramel tang. Some even develop a sherry-like nuttiness through micro-oxygenation during maturation in barrels.</p>

<h2>Chardonnay can still shine</h2>
<p>While Petit Manseng has developed a signature Virginia taste, Viognier and Chardonnay express site and winemaking more transparently.</p>
<p>Several knockout Chardonnays made the list. While Chardonnay has traditionally fared well in Virginia, quality and style have been uneven enough to avoid anointing it the state’s flagship white. In fact, Chardonnay plantings have gone down.</p>
<p>The likely reason ties to the site&#8217;s specifics – soil, climate, and exposure. While Chardonnay was long seen as capable of growing anywhere, <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/elaine-chukan-brown-for-an-emerging-region-success-with-a-grape-like-chardonnay-proves-tricky-519121/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">great Chardonnay requires unique conditions to thrive</a></strong>. With years of trial and error, several wineries have nailed that formula – others have replanted with different grapes.</p>
<p>‘Identifying the right vineyard for each variety is key,’ says Early Mountain Winemaker Maya Hood White. ‘Chardonnay benefits from well-drained soils and good exposure. But it is also very sensitive to frost and is usually the first variety hit in those years,’ she says.</p>
<p>Jim Law of Linden Vineyards is often considered the father of the state’s top Chardonnay. ‘Chardonnay becomes more interesting in cooler regions, notably higher elevation sites found in the Shenandoah Valley and around the Blue Ridge Mountains,’ he says.</p>
<p>Law believes in extended bottle ageing before release. The current vintages for his well-recognised Avenius Chardonnay is 2020.</p>
<p>However, Law remains deeply attuned to the winds of change, namely climate change. He shares updates with members on his climate change trial plantings in his email list. Of around 22 varieties, Fiano has &#8216;grabbed&#8217; his attention.</p>
<p>‘Fiano consistently produces stellar fruit. I have also been impressed with Barboursville’s Fiano. We are debating taking Fiano to the next level by planting a commercially sized block,’ he says.</p>
<div id="attachment_537035" style="width: 1310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-537035" class="wp-image-537035 size-full" src="https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2024/08/DJI_0054.jpg" alt="" width="1300" height="860" srcset="https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2024/08/DJI_0054.jpg 1300w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2024/08/DJI_0054-300x198.jpg 300w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2024/08/DJI_0054-630x417.jpg 630w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2024/08/DJI_0054-135x89.jpg 135w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2024/08/DJI_0054-320x212.jpg 320w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2024/08/DJI_0054-620x410.jpg 620w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2024/08/DJI_0054-920x609.jpg 920w, https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2024/08/DJI_0054-1220x807.jpg 1220w" sizes="(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-537035" class="wp-caption-text">Courtesy of Virginia Wine</p></div>
<h2>Climate change and varietal adaptation</h2>
<p>To his point, Barbourville’s Fiano also made the top 20 list. Barboursville has planted a stake in the ground with Italian varieties, which is unsurprising given its relationship to <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/wine-regions/veneto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Veneto’s</a></strong> Zonin wine family. Winemaker Luca Paschina is also a third-generation winemaker from Alba in Piedmont.</p>
<p>In addition to an elegant Fiano, the winery produces an excellent Vermentino, another grape being trialled in warm regions for its adaptability in warmer weather and drought conditions.</p>
<p>Though Virginia is a mid-Atlantic state prone to downpours, especially during hurricane season, it also suffers long spells of heat and water scarcity, both in 2023 and currently in 2024.</p>
<p>That suggests that regardless of the success of varieties of old, many winemakers recognise the urgent need to adapt to a new order in the next few decades. Grapes falling out of favour for some, though still capable of excellent wines, include Viognier.</p>
<p>Viognier, 20 years ago, might have been approaching flagship status, but given its propensity for lower acidity, it’s become a site-sensitive variety, too.</p>
<p>While Virginia, like the rest of the world, must adjust to wilder weather and possibly a new climate paradigm, the state’s whites have never been better. Site-driven Chardonnay, rich Petit Manseng, bright Sauvignon Blanc, and a clutch of increasingly impressive Italian white grapes all demonstrate the state’s breadth of sites and winemaking talent.</p>
