SANCTUARY 'MILEPOST' TRAMINETTE

Sanctuary Vineyards is located near the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The South Block site has two acres of Traminette and Chardonel grapes planted in rich, sandy soil. Both are French hybrid grapes, consisting of traditional, old world grape varieties crossed with sturdier American vines to create a plant that can thrive in "New World" growing conditions. The Traminette is based on Gewurtztraminer, a white grape planted widely in the Rhine region of Germany, where it produces a wine with crisp acidity but with a distinct sweetness reminiscent of Riesling. The Chardonel is bred from Chardonnay, and will produce wines with the same varietal character and rich fruit flavors.

Tangy lemon and ginger aromas abound, layered over a lightly sweet finish.
