The 2021 Petit Manseng (there is also 2% Chardonnay) is dry and comes in at 13.3% alcohol. It was aged for 11 months in mostly used wood (in turn, mostly French), although there is also a barrel of fermentation lees that contributes. The winery calls that its "Solera lees," started in 2017 in neutral wood. After a quick Chardonnay tasting, this was jarring, but awfully fine. The big acidity just grips the palate, but the combination of grapefruit and mango makes this delicious, too, in its stern and serious fashion. The wood gives it a certain overlay that never turns to vanilla. Then, there is the pure power. This is a lighter vintage than the last I saw, but it works well on its own terms and still seems impressive. It might even be better. The power and tension do mean that it will be best suited as a pairing for food, though, not a standalone sipper. It should hold for the rest of the decade, at least. It's a beauty.

Country: United States

The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
